So given I’d tend to look at Active Threads first, the ignore functionality is pretty much useless to me. Gah!

+1 and yes, it's related enough haha. I actually also thought about commenting on this, recently.
Because, on top of showing up in Active Threads, posts written by ignored users still pop up as unread ("New Post" icon). I would rather not have that (visual) notification either. Just...completely ignore it.
