I'm an admin of a forum where we share ignore lists.
I was very concerned about this at first because there's a very real chance that people will blindly ignore users based on others already ignoring them. However, for the most part, it seems users will still look at those shared lists as an "advisory" and still use their own discretion when choosing to ignore a user.
There's also a feature where frequently ignored users will lose community standing (it works a bit like karma points except no numeric score is shown). Users with poor community standing will see an increase in the delay interval they're allowed to post.
They will also not see new topics until a certain number of users with good community standing have already replied to those. The idea being that, perhaps, exposure to good quality posts will dissuade rubbish ones.
