[XB] User Ignore Extended: Selective & Temporary Ignores 2.1.0

Extend XenForo's user ignore system with selective content filtering, temporary ignores, notification blocking, private notes, and advanced ignore management.

Give members greater control over unwanted interactions without requiring them to ignore everything from another user. Members can independently hide posts, threads, conversations, mentions, and notifications, set temporary ignore periods, and maintain private notes. Administrators can manage ignore relationships through a centralized ACP interface with filtering and bulk actions.

Useful for:​

• Personalized Browsing: Reduce unwanted interactions while preserving content and communication that members still want to receive.
• Conflict Management: Help members manage disagreements without requiring moderators to intervene or impose account restrictions.
• Notification Overload: Reduce distractions from repeated mentions, alerts, and watched-content notifications.
• Temporary Boundaries: Let members take a break from specific users during heated discussions without creating permanent restrictions.

FAQ:​

• What happens when a temporary ignore expires? The rule stops affecting content and notifications as soon as it expires. Scheduled cleanup then removes the expired record.
• Who can see personal notes attached to ignored users? Personal notes are private and are shown only to the member who owns the ignore list.
• Can an administrator create a mutual ignore? Yes. When adding an ignore relationship in the ACP, an administrator can create the corresponding reverse relationship at the same time.
