In the past the more of so-called "established users" ignored a given user, the darker the ignore button's highlight colour would become (from light yellow to brown-ish). That was the only thing that happened as more users ignored a give user, but it was enough inform to other users that someone with a highlighted ignore button is likely to be a troll.

It was later disabled due to being too resource-intensive to keep it:

I don't know how feasible it would be to have rewritten to accommodate a larger number of users.

That's actually a pretty cool feature.  It was before my time, so I was not aware of it.  

As V8 so eloquently noted, I was half joking, but only half.  I wouldn't want people to become reserved, and not share their opinion for fear of being labeled a troll, but it would be nice to have a feature that would put the egregiously habitual trolls on notice.  

It was a cool feature.  It encouraged people to ignore trolls in order to take part in watching their ignore button darken.  Maybe prevented some forum drama.
