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 figured this had to have come up at some point.

For my Option #1, there would be a separator between the wanted and unwanted threads. The unwanted ones could even be collapsed. To me this seems like it would be the easiest to implement because the same list of threads would be returned on a page, regardless of which threads you are ignoring, only the sorting of those threads would change. This would alleviate some of the perceived performance issues that IB-Dick mentions in one of the threads that you posted. Also, you wouldn't need a special interface or special page to see those ignored threads if you changed your mind. They would be right there on the same page, just in a special collapsed section.
