Ignore

I would love to see an ignore feature that allows one to block certain members' posts from appearing. It'll prevent many melodramatic arguments if used correctly. All in favor, say oui.

This has been suggested before, but one of the admin's rejected it because it would result in people posting redundant information because they couldn't see the post by someone else.

Hahaha. Chaos would ensue. That would rule. I'm in favor of this.

It would be bad idea, i can see the dumber members blocking the people that are always right and then getting pissed.

We would not implement this for the exact reason(s) that EnEsCe cited.

It shouldn't be implemented because of what EnEsCe said, but I think if an argument occurs you should show some maturity and just walk away or just don't say anything that would start an argument in the first place.

There's a difference between a debate and an argument.  Debates are civilized arguments with valid information given from each side.  Most likely an argument is, or if not, will turn into an immature, spam filled, flame war.

Why would you want to completely ignore a person?  The ignore feature is already there, most people just don't realize it. It's a blend of self-control, thinking logically and within reason, and not posting back at the person if you don't have a tame and civilized reply.
