Conversations between posters you like and posters you block wouldn't make any sense then. The ignore is a good compromise, you can still choose to read ignored posts to make sense of a thread.

Why don't you just try it and it'll become clear?
Yes.
Only if you choose to ignore me.
When you choose to ignore me then you won't see my posts including where others quote them.
This is a 'social media' forum. Twitter, FB, Reddit etc. all allow you to block nuisance posters who choose to be anonymous. Most of them have nothing better to be doing with their time. Unless you're going to tell me that trolling and all the bad things about social media doesn't happen on here. We don't know how it affects some people.
Would anyone care that a person they blocked couldn't make sense of a post. If they weren't such a nuisance in the first place then they wouldn't be blocked. The issue isn't as bad here as elsewhere but I'd still be in favour of having the option if i choose to use it.

So, it looks like this: You are ignoring content by this member. Show ignored content
That's pretty useless.
That's pretty useless.
As I've said elsewhere before, this is not at all my experience based on recent extensive use of it to tease out some financial and related issues. It has made mistakes at times and it's always necessary to double/sanity check what it gives back, but I've generally found it to be very useful and informative.
But, yet again, there IS such an option already - the "Ignore" option.
It's the other way around, you can choose to see the ignored person's posts. An ignored person can still see your posts.
If they couldn't see/reply to your posts you could use the Block function maliciously to "get the last word" against posters you disagree with, as frequently happens in Reddit arguments.

Plus, they're practically no moderation on Reddit so things get out of hand a lot.

"Anyway everyone's saying it doesn't happen but I sent an enquiry to Revenue just in case. Will circle back on their response."
Never mind ChatGPT, the Revenue website contains many misleading misinterpretations of tax law, all of which suit the Revenue's own position on a range of issues.
Revenue's own helplines can also mislead and Revenue routinely disclaim all responsibility for "advice" dispensed by their own officials.
AI is going to be a very valuable tool to any powerful institution who wishes to mislead the public.

I once had to explain to their mortgage interest relief phone line how mortgage interest relief worked. In fairness to them, they did eventually come back to me to tell me I was right and to correct the relief.
If they had their own AI, trained on the relevant Acts, SIs and guidance notes there'd at least be chance of it being at least a little useful
