Block User Feature For Forum?

DJ, Is there anyway to add a block user/ignore posts feature to your forum? I know it's your own code, so you must be able to customize? I'm sure myself and a few others have a few people we would like to erase out of our lives. There is a disruptive force on this forum that needs to go away.
