Opt in ignoring in a social contexts always eventually degrades to nobody opting in. Imagine you have Alice and Bob, who like each other, and Unlikable Urkle. Alice initially ignores Urkle but Bob replies to one of his comments, stoking her curiosity, so she unignores him. This is why /ignore on IRC and similar systems don't work.
