Yep.  It was intended to flush out the trolls right from the start.
All groups have a few.

Good Idea. You probably killed about 50% of useful posts this way, too.

 Won't work - too many people here who know their Toyotas /and/ are
educated in (or even specialists in) another field, might have a
relevant and educated comment to add in an OT Thread.  (Sometimes even
a thread that's obviously heading down the drain towards Godwin's Law,
in a vain attempt at raising the SN and the 'intelligence level'.)

 Ergo, if you just kill-file posters based on one posting in an OT
thread you're going to get way too many false positives.

 You know how to spot a Troll, the nym-shifters are easy to ID.  The
utter fools out themselves fast by making grandiose claims that can't
be true, or by making statements taking diametrically opposite sides
on the same issue in rapid succession just to be a contrarian.  And
some can't understand the basic idea of the charter and aren't even
trying to hide the fact they're shilling for another auto maker.

 And a few of our trolls are a Multiple Choice Bonanza with the "All
Of The Above" box checked.
