The blocking feature would only affect the people who block the user. Yes, I think I know how it would work.

Therefore the reduced size of the threads would be nothing but beneficial to them. Would it really though? If a guy in real life that you don't like is talking with you and your friends you would partly listen instead of blocking him out completely. It would only hamper your input in discussion because if the topic of conversation because of the blocked user, you are now behind the curve.
Everyone's opinion of an annoying user is different. Saying "yes thread quality would drastically improve because of blocking" isn't true. There's beneficial members of the community who would be blocked because of their smug jerk faces!!! ;-).
I believe it's not a brilliant "We need it now!!!" priority. There are good things about it though, don't get me wrong. I could finally block all the mythics and their shiny hats and crappy opinions that disagree with me!!!

No it wouldn't. Something you're all failing to realize is that this is a user feature. By no means does this effect Bungie.net or anyone's experience here -- this is personal. And don't assume just because one person is going to block a user, that the rest will follow. That's not how it should work.I think you might have misunderstood what I was saying. If everyone blocks different users then the website experience changes for everyone (individually of course). Two users could see a reply count smaller than the forum states, but who says they would see the same replies?
Lets say "I want more mods" has 15 replies.
User A goes into the thread and can only read 7 posts because of his blocked list. He reads posts from users D,F,G,H,J,U,I
User B goes into the thread and can only read 10 posts because of his block list. He reads posts from users D,F,H,J,Q,L,I,X,U,Z.
Does that make a bit more sense?
