When you place a user on Global Ignore, every post ever made by that user is suppressed; isn't visible; and the following phrase text from administrator_decided_x_quiet is displayed:

The administrator has decided that <strong>{1}</strong> should be quiet for a while.

This is how the Global Ignore setting works. However...

It would be preferable if:

1) Global Ignore suppressed future posts; those created after being placed on Global Ignore. Posts created before being placed on Global Ignore would still display.
2) There was an option to exempt Usergroups and select individuals (by userID or username, which ever is easier to code for) from being affected; they would still see the posts.

Additionally, content of posts made by users placed on Global Ignore are visible when viewing their Profile page and you click on Find latest posts. The resulting listing of posts shows the first x number of lines in those posts; they are not suppressed until you actually go in to them. Sorta defeats the purpose IMO.
