You type in someone's username, and from then on posts by that person are hidden when you view a thread they've posted to. You see their name, and that's it. You have the option of viewing their post, if you wish. You also will see it if someone quotes their post.
I've found it to be a very handy feature.

Any way to have an Ignore button? The Motley Fool financial site boards have this feature. The current method is much less convenient since it requires page hops and typing in the offender's name.

Only one page hop and no typing in the name: Just click on the offender's Profile in one of their posts; there's a yellow text that says "add (offender) to your ignore list." If you click on that, they're automatically added with no typing in the name required.

I found it to be very handy on RPGnet, but had never found it to be too much use here until very recently.
