I think it's a great idea, especially for triggering and controversial threads, whether it's new or not.

It is new but hasn't been officially announced since there are a couple of bugs we need to address before saying it's good to go. You can try it but I believe on the front page you may still see threads you've ignored.

Where are you seeing the thread? Front page? In a search?

[Nina]

I am seeing the thread(s) on the front page
and
I did log off, came back and still see the threads

you don't have to spend time on it...I can just close my eyes

That's the one bug we're attempting to track down. It's a conflict between the ignore thread option and what we use to create our fancy front page. If you go to New Posts, you'll likely not see the thread at all even if it does appear on the front page.
