How would you have it work? If I quote somebody you have on ignore, do you see just my reply? Wouldn't that seem weird to have me ranting about something you didn't know was a direct reply to somebody?

If you have it not show my post if I quote somebody on ignore, what if somebody then quotes my post? How many layers should this software give us?

I get what you are saying, it would be great if the software did exactly what you want it to do. However like most things in IT security, there is some human involvement as well. Spam filters will let the odd piece of spam through; you still need to know not to send that Nigerian prince your money.

The other consideration- how much server resources should be allocated to this? I was away on the 1st, but didn't hear of any issues. Would we want to give up our servers' ability to handle the load to allow for a robust ignore feature?
