The best way to not be ignored is to not say things and act in a manner that will make people want to ignore you... It's as simple as that. The feature works perfectly if somebody decides to set you as ignored, and you're then unable to contact them.
You'll asking for a feature that allows people to ignore other people, when somebody else has the opinion to deem it "fair" - that's down to personal preference, as Petie said. There is no fair and unfair in who people wish to listen to and outright ignore as a whole.
Your experience on other websites are likely following the same mindset that people have a choice to not be disturbed if they don't want to be. We want people to be comfortable on the forum and feel like they can enjoy themselves and not see anything they don't want to see, including other users who attempt to contact them or continuously post things that they don't like.
