Hello everybody, your local friendly neighbourhood ghost popping in.
After extensive development and testing in a certain Cafe, I’m proud to unveil an Ignore User function - which is relatively easy for the admins here to implement and relatively lightweight on client-side.
If you’ve had a bad day and don’t want to deal with somebody’s blatherings, this code adds a convenient mute button. Click the microphone button (beside the timestamp). A prompt will ask you if you’re sure you want to mute them.
There are many situations where flagging is the wrong answer but you need serenity now. And this ignore button provides it. Whether it be an ex-partner or somebody who’s consistently wrong, this code has you covered.
Credit for the original implementation goes to SleepProgger for their userscript.

Installing the code (for users)
This works only on desktop browsers that have Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey. Tampermonkey is available for Firefox, Chrome, and pretty much any browser. Has to be installed on each browser you use. This script is best paired with notification mutes (in setting panel).

Installing the code (for admins)
This code rolls it out to all clients. The limitations of this code are thus: it stores ignores via localStorage, so ignores only work per browser.
