When I ignore a user I want them to go away forever.
Some updates are in the works. You will likely be able to ban individuals from commenting on/replying to your own posts and comments. Its tricky when you're talking about hiding comments from ignored users on someone else's post, because then you will just see a half thread. Its not so simple, and that's why we're not rolling it out really quickly. We've been discussing for some time, but we don't want to rush into this and accidentally create unintended bigger problems. As always, feel free to give feedback.
Sure, my point is this. If i really hate someone and i click ignore I want them to go away. I dont ever want to see a comment or post from them again. Im less tempted to start an argument with a proper ignore system. I am ok with half the convo gone, it tells me an ignored user made comments and I wont want to see them anyways. When I set someone to ignore I do it because I feel that nothing they say can possibly be of interest to me and i likely despise the person saying it to boot. Lets say I comment in person A's thread and person B is ignored by me and also comments, I can see their comments and I don't want to. I hate person B, seeing person B makes me want to punch kittens just for seeing their name. Please think of the kittens.
