A poor signal to noise ratio means it is hard to get the message from amongst the noise.
It was a common expression on UseNet, possibly a hang-over from the keen HAM participants in the earlier days but more likely due to the military participants in the earliest days.
Edit: (I forgot this bit) It is used as a way of saying "this is off topic".

"Signal-to-noise ratio" is sometimes used informally to refer to the ratio of useful information to false or irrelevant data in a conversation or exchange. For example, in online discussion forums and other online communities, off-topic posts and spam are regarded as "noise" that interferes with the "signal" of appropriate discussion."
Understand now?Hard Brexit now!
