I think the more important aspect of hubski is the block function. If I find out someone is posting really banal shit I'm just going to remove them from my feed. Since, if I read your update correctly, totally removes them from existence for me, its a very effective way of me never having to worry about this sort of banal shit.

If they share an interesting link, its not like someone else I follow won't send me it anyway.

I "ignored" a user this morning that seemed to be "spamming". Now none of their posts will make my feed. If you click under "tools" you will see a script that forwardslash created so that the comments of people you ignore will also not show up for you. here is the link

Currently ignore completely removes the user's posts from your feed. It used to be that a share would override this ignore, but the general consensus was that people wanted it to be absolute.
