A way to "lock out" people's threads you don't like
 

I routinely get complaints about certain people on the board, but when I read some of their threads, they don't seem to be that big of a deal, so I'm reluctant to ban them. My request is to make it so a member can add a person to their "ban" list, and as a result, they won't even see any threads started by the people they ban. Is this possible? Thanks. ;)

Just add him/her to your Ignore list

thats what i would do bluecat just use the ignore feature... or you can try some hacks... there's the global ignore and the secretly ban a user hacks... but i'd probably just stick with ignore feature ;)
