I like Xenforo as a whole, but don't like the ignore list functionality in it.
On other forum software I've used, when I place a user on ignore it puts a "placeholder" in the thread and gives the option to view the post. That way, I can use it as something of a "filter"-if I find that a person occasionally has valuable input but mostly find that their posts are tedious or whatever I put them on ignore and choose to read where I think they might add something to the thread. Also, it preserves the continuity of the thread for me since I can see that there's a post that I'm skipping over.
On Xenforo, an ignored user essentially doesn't exist in threads.
BTW, I think I know the user @D.T. is talking about. I suspect that I'm on that particular poster's ignore list because they never respond to me when I quote their posts when they respond to everything else. It's nothing to me-in my case I'm trying to either engage in conversation or disagree with a point that they've made(while giving my reasons). I'll keep responding.
