By this I mean that if I ignore them, I actually do not see their posts at all without needing an addon to actually hide them.
Further more, it also hides any responses to that person.
It really sucks wanting to ignore someone who is just trying to troll and shit on a thread as much as possible and even if you block them, you still see where every post they have and all the dumbasses responding to them and feeding them making the actual substance of a thread unreadable as they intentionally derailed it for 15+ pages because people keep feeding them.
If I ignore someone I would like the ability to actually hide their posts and any post that actually replies to them. That would shrink many threads by several dozen to hundred pages for many of us.
And, unfortunately, the mods, while mostly good intentioned, are not equip to handle this task effectively.
