Use same ID as in regular TOTV.
Enable ignore feature.
Give behavior violators 3 strikes and your out. The moderator would warn them up to three times....not just in one thread but overall.
Upon getting the third strike remove them from TOTV......maybe 30 days first time....60 days second time, etc.
Since the violators are a small minority count, it would not be long before they are weeded/struck out.

The ignore feature doesn't do any good if someone else quotes the person you're ignoring. A debate thread would suck up most of the moderators' time and efforts - and don't forget the mods have opinions as well - if they see a thread that busts their buttons, but isn't violating something, it's just more stress that they really shouldn't have to deal with.
That said - if such a forum option was to be returned, it should be a) opt-in only and b) violators are simply banned from that forum option. Not allowed to read or participate in that forum, but still have access as usual to the regular forum, with the usual rules.
