Since it was pretty interesting to read, I'd like to fork the discussion being had in this thread on the topic of "self-moderation" through the use of filtering tools, such as an ignore user feature.
Please Bungie? This should work both ways though. If userA blocks userB than userB can't see UserA's posts either. I Wasn't sure if this was expressed?
No, just no. I have stated my approval in this thread a several times already, but that's where I draw the line. There's no point in blocking other users from seeing your posts, this is a system meant to increase user experience while limiting the impact on other users. What you suggest is moving in the opposite direction.

So far, my opinion is that if it were done, it couldn't be done in isolation, and would have to be very, very, very carefully implemented to avoid creating an "echo chamber" by default... basically to make it so it was a backup device for users, rather than the first thing they hit when annoyed by someone. As to how to do that... well... I guess if it were easy, we would have already done it.
You could have users write a 100 character summary of why they're ignoring the person they want to ignore, and then have them do a CAPTCHA. Both of those would be really annoying, so users wouldn't use them as much. You could also limit the number of peopole a user can ignore.
Hell, I think just a CAPTCHA would be enough. The summary would be the easy part.
I disagree with the CAPTCHA being enough. If people elaborate on why they're blocking a user, they'll realize if it's right or wrong, and if they're being stupid.
