ignore button modification.
instead of having all the posts by the person just disappear, how about having their text replaced by lyrics from "row, row, row your boat"? still kill the images, of course, as they're often what prompt the ignoring (or replace the to-be-ignored image with a stock image from b3ta, or one of a set of images from a file).

i'm prompted to this suggestion by a post by skug, in his reply to a pic by zank frappa.

Yes.
This is a good idea.

but
under the current system, you don't see ignored users or replies to their posts.

So with "row, row, row your boat" (in the best case) you'd just end up with either a whole bunch of context-free replies to posts you didn't want to read anyway, or (in the worst) several screenfuls of "cock off, twunt" which is what you were trying to avoid in the first place.
