On Killfiles

Some time in the future, Dreamwidth is planning to offer a killfile. The specs say that two levels of killfile are planned. The first will collapse posts and comments by the user who has been killfiled. The second will remove all traces of the killfiled user from your view (with the exception of access lists on profiles, and comm membership lists).

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 130


Would you use the killfile described above?

To borrow [personal profile] foxfirefey's question, what effects do you think killfiles (if put into practice as described above) would have on Dreamwidth and the way people use it?

I have the killfile on LJ, but I have only used it once to avoid seeing someone on my foflist. It's always possible such a thing could happen again, that I would be so upset just seeing someone's posts that I had to use it, but I kind of doubt it, so I voted no.
