Ability to hide all comments from a user. I want to be able to put people on ignore and just as importantly I want people to be able to put me on ignore. Arguing on the internet is often pointless and the cost of avoiding said pointlessness is not negligible.

I worry about the effect this would have on understanding threaded conversations with many participants, or I'd be in favor.

My thought was make ignored comments do the same thing as highly downvoted comments. You can click on them if you really want to.

It is certainly a more viable option than attempting to implement the ignore feature inside the brain of the person you wish to ignore. That doesn't seem to work to well.

Yeah, the implementation on that one is very buggy. (Although I'm working with a variant of an outright ignore, which your feature wouldn't strictly improve on.)

I like to save my mind hacking energies for features that can't be coded in greasemonkey. ;)
