But the lousy forum engine didn't have an ignore function despite being commercial. Fortunately he got kicked out eventually. Seriously, the dude was more obnoxious than krb. So, I think anybody gross enough to really be worth ignoring should be bannable already.
Having actually attempted to use it to ignore a user I felt never added anything useful to the discussion, it's actually worse to turn it on than to simply ignore the user the old fashion way. It's that disruptive. It replaces their posts with a large dark grey box (at least the size of the text box I just quoted) that reminds you that you have put this user on your ignore list. Due to the forum color scheme, you can't ignore the fact that they posted. I turned it off about 5 minutes later.

It's already useless. If someone is that determined to ignore a particular user's posts enough to not only turn it on, but deal with the constant, obnoxious, and style-breaking reminder that they are in fact, ignoring a particular user, more power to them. Just leave it as is.
