i don't even have a car, or a vacuum cleaner :) I think your solution is really simple and elegant. in the context of spammers, the ignore button can act as a more active pursuit to get their accounts buried. it might be a good idea, then, in the faq under ignore to point out that ignoring people effects the entire site and not just ones feed. so people will know, for example, that when they see a spammer in their external posts, to take a second to actually ignore them, rather than just ignoring them.
