I'm hanging out on the Skyrim forums quite a bit these days. They have an ignore function that cuts out quotes from ignored party as well, plus a link that permits you to temporarily un-ignore content in a thread if you find that the flow doesn't make sense because you're ignoring someone.

They also have a decently functioning reputation system, and use only 2 moderators, that I know of.

Getting a whole bunch of negative reputation puts you at a distinct disadvantage there, and there's little incentive to stay. There is such a thing as rating abuse, so the mods deal with reports of it. Obvious signs, such as give a negative rating to every post by a user in a thread get reversed pretty quick.

But they're also not running a store. So they can ban peeps and not worry that they are annoying customers who actually spend money.

Yeah, there are trolls and personal attacks and what not. But with a colorful and visually immediate way to call them out, it's not nearly as bothersome.
