My theory is that such code was just never implemented in the shiny new web.

vBulletin which is very popular has "ignore" mechanism: put a user on ignore and you don't see his posts. Yep, it's just as easy as pressing a button.

I like ignore buttons. Cleans out the crap very quickly. And provides useful feedback to people joining lists who want to talk to people. As grown up after grown up plonks you, those who might get the message do.

Most ignore functions send no information to the ignored. No one ever gets the message because no message is sent.

If I'm engaged with someone, I tend to plonk publicly, so the fellow knows I won't be responding any longer, and others get the idea as well.

But I'll silently <ignore> too.
