The problem lies with the whole revert/communicate, or
warn/communicate problem. We have no way for administrators/sysops to mark comments in

"ignoring" said discussion bits may very well cause greater problems.
Ideally, we'd of course expect ALL contributors participate in cooling off vandalism
before it goes to the danger level. :D So addition of the "in my role as" button
would not make sense in that regard.
This issue may also be approached by adding a time delay for all ignore actions, so that
the ignoree gets a few hours/days to communicate first.

How do forums resolve this? I can cause trouble and ignore a forum admin, or ...?
