If the motivation for this is content-related, why not something like "ignore users with less than X posts" instead? Some forums already employ filters that prevent you from viewing/posting certain things until your post count reaches some number. It seems to help with spam, as well as maintaining content quality. Ignoring works on the receiver's end (opposite to that) but it accomplishes roughly the same thing without annoyance, so I'm all for it.
