Well if it's really a good feature, then people will use it. If it's not, then we don't need it. I would almost certainly use it. That's the problem. It's good for the existing users (very good) but not for the new ones.

That said I thought we were talking about ignore/mute/hush and if it's just ignore that's better. HOWEVER, isn't it much more elegant to just pop a little thing up that says, "Hey, new user of <7 days, you aren't allowed to post yet because we want you to acclimate. We encourage you to read posts, comment intelligently and make friends. After a week you can begin posting."
