I see it more as "we're wasting time and energy in dealing with posts that are meant to be joking that people take seriously, so let's see if this helps". I wouldn't want it to turn into something adamently followed, but just an option to make sure we spend our energy where it's needed most.
PS - Hmm, didn't see those posts when I searched. Thanks for finding them, I knew we had a conversation about this before!
