I completely agree with you. It would be a very valuable tool. Many other forums have it.
Earlier discussions:

Of the 3 options you propose, I believe #3 is actually the most common implementation. Typically there's an entirely separate page where the ignored threads can be seen. I don't think #1 would be helpful, if there's no indication that the threads are being ignored. #2 also sounds interesting, but seems like it adds complexity to the implementation.

I don't think this solves the problem. If there were only a few threads someone ever wanted to look at, this would work. But if they want to see new threads, then they'll have to go to the forum and look for them, and that's when they'll see the threads that they aren't interested in, mixed in with all of the new content.
