Can we put people on ignore?

I don't see how to put someone on ignore with these forums. A few prolific cyberbullies really would be better off for everyone if they left, but the next best thing is to put them on ignore. How do we do this?
I used to be Shakkar with thousands of posts. My very identity was stolen from me so now I am originalshakkar, the original.

Civil? They just hold on to their own rules. Does not mean people know a way to work around it.
And "silly" reasons? Who are you to determine they have silly reasons? OP is right. A simple ignore button could do fine. They should have all right to ignore people, no matter what reason. Why are you so against giving people the choice who they talk to, and what they read? The point of a community forum is to make people socialize, and not to make them feel bad, because some people are literally here to troll. No more, no less. I actually do not understand your unvalid response? He is just pledging for something to make his time on the forum more fun.
this is their game you are apart of that, you have to follow the rules or you can clear off to another game, its what you signed up to when you created your account, take part on the forums and play the game. there is no other answer.
and who are you to tell me what silly is in return? its like defining the word normal, we all have our own version of what we consider normal. thats what i am getting at, you add an ignore feature because you dont like this or that, then it fragments the community, some people will only chat to other people and others will chat to their own, it wouldnt be a community, it would be communities within the community with their own rules. if you got no one who would chat to each other over the forum because of the minefield that is the ignore feature, then whats the point in the community forum?
get off your high horse.

+1 on a block feature though... That's just a basic requirement for any kind of social media platform. People might not like people, and that's fine, that's their freedom of choice, but they shouldn't have to skim past their posts rather than just blocking them and being done with.
If you use Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey then this script will work. Just add http://perfectworld.vanillaforums.com/* to the User includes and then add whichever names you want to ignore to the script itself.
And for that reason if we DID get an ignore feature, I would put talking about who one has put on ignore as being in the same category as talking about bans and mod actions. That creates drama instead of the intended use of the ignore feature to reduce drama. What I would at least say about the ignore if I got one is that I would not go around just throwing it around willy-nilly and hiding ridiculous proportions of the forum population. I'd use it once in a while, but not all the time.
