How many of you guys would actually use the ignore button? I bet the button would go unused if it were to be added. I know a lot of people like to say things like, "Oh, I hate Gballzack!," or "Crazzyman trolled the Wii thread!," but do they really bother you *that* much? No one is forcing you to reply you to reply to their posts; you don't have to respond if you don't want to. If they're bothering you or trolling, there's a report button.
Although it wouldn't hurt to add an ignore user option, I just don't see it as a necessary feature. As Words of Wisdom has pointed out, there are more useful features that should take priority, particularly the option to view pictures, sigs, and avatars. What makes these options more important, you ask? It's simple, and I will explain it: Not everyone who visits the site is using a high speed internet connection. There are still users that use dial-up. It's vital that those users are able to still visit the site without having to wait ages to load a page. There's no sig limit on this site, so that often results in users using huge pics and large gif files.
There's also a reason the mods are here. These guys have your back. They're here to help you! You can always PM them if you're having problems or if someone is making you feel uncomfortable. Trust me, if there's a problem and you notify the mods, it will be taken care of. Now, I'm not against adding the feature or anything. I wouldn't expect ioi to add it anytime soon, though, especially when you take into consideration what the mods have said in this thread.
