likely to do it.  "ignore" is more for chat rooms, when pervs are buggin people IMVHO.
"ignore" is more for dumpsites with cliques, like this place might become if they allow
the cliques to start up again...

Wrong. Every other forum that I visit has this feature. It's built into php forums. It's not a new idea.

I'm sorry, but even though cliques may develop, I feel that most people would only use this feature to eliminate only those that really bother them. I don't think anyone wants this in order to make their own little juvenile groupie centers. They want to contain the snarkiness and the general bitchiness that exists in these forums because they currently can't help but see those who irritate them over and over and over again. It's a fact of life that you can't possibly like everyone. And if you visit often, like a lot of us do, you can't get away from those you don't like, even when you try to ignore them yourself. An ignore button would make the mods lives much easier as well. After all, their job is not only unpaid, it's totally thankless. And it's not like we make things easy on them ;o).

Speaking personally, of all the times I've lost my temper, there are less than I can count on one hand that I would actually ignore.
