I still don't get the need for an Ignore button. I can easily ignore people without it. Anyhow, if we get one, if it works and it makes you folks who want one happy, that's cool.
I can, however, suggest a supplement to the function...
Every time a member is ignored, they get a notification telling them something like "You have been added to a user's 'Ignore' list, giving you a total of (number) users currently ignoring you". That, I believe, would be more effective than simply ignoring someone, if the objective is to make certain people modify their behaviour.
OTOH, I can also see a potential for abuse of the system if it's implemented in that way so maybe it's not such a great idea after all. :)
