I'm for this feature if only because it introduces the idea of ignoring as a potentially temporary action rather than a permanent one in all cases. There are a lot of cases where a tag, or a domain, or a person really needs more of a timeout than a permanent shunning. The potential for that to be automated seems a positive enough benefit to risk any potential scaring off of newbies, which, lets be honest, if someone goes away because not enough people are sharing their content in the first few days, they almost certainly have the kind of ego problems that you wouldn't want to attract anyway.
