Have you found, by any chance, that a company paid someone else in order to make you leave that company? ::)

It cannot address the problem that usenet had to solve decades ago: a reasonable and interesting thread where a "troublemaker" chimes in and creates a sub-thread containing only irritating responses amongst the otherwise useful responses. That can't be solved in a server-side forum based system; it require the filtering to be done in the reader.
Oh well. Newer is better. Isn't it?

The problem is that there is no function on this forum to hide threads and posts from a particular user. The ability to manually ignore a thread after you identify who it is from is orthogonal to that.
Not to mention that the “ignore” function still shows that user’s posts, it simply hides the content of them behind a little curtain. It can still be tempting to click “show post” (or whatever it’s called). A true “ignore user” feature would make it appear as though that user, and the content they post, didn’t exist at all.

I'm convinced, leaving such users to freely run riot. Is significantly lowering the quality, tone and other parameters, of the forum. Dragging it down, to some extent to their level, and may put off various users, from participating or using (even read only), the forum.
There is a rather important distinction, between a so called hated user, and someone who seems to be deliberately making trouble, such as outright trolling.
They have already made so many different accounts on here, many already banned, I'm surprised they are not permanently banned already.
Although I don't want to disagree with the moderators here. I don't seem to be able to see a single user, say, wait a minute, I like and appreciate their posts, please keep them on here.
If such a user suddenly appears, I'd initially worry, it was another of their 'alias' accounts.
Also, surely it is blindingly obvious, they are producing posts, which are sometimes, copy/paste's from some trolling cheat sheet, they have created.
They are not even an entertaining, especially funny or especially interesting troll.
More like a permanently jammed record player, trolling out the same nonsense, all the time.

Yeah that can happen.
Oh, and a third option too: a company pays you extra to make you leave.
