Couldn't Jagex simply expand the code that allows Forum Mods (and above) to hide a post to be incorporated into such a feature?
Forum Mods hide posts which means that a post has its permission flags set to "H" (or whatever) for everyone; the personal ignore list could do the same thing when it detects a post or thread by a person on the list. Instead of the "This post/thread has been hidden" message, the post is simply not loaded for that person.
