It's satisfactory, but could be improved

I suppose it's handy to be able to see the person you're ignoring in quoted posts, you can check if their behaviour warrants a rethink and subsequently being unblocked.

What really would cut all the crap though is either

A - Mutual Block - If 2 posters have one another on ignore they become completely invisible to one another, you cannot see one another's posts or threads.

B - Block - As basic as it says on the tin. You won't see posts by this person or threads started by them.

I think in some cases the options available would help.

Someone may want to ignore me, that works for them, but I'm happy reading their input, so I don't ignore them.

Definitely need a block option.
