GM Ignore Meter

I like the idea of a visual statistic showing how many people are ignored/ignoring. But as far as an automatic /report when someone gets too many ignores, i vote nay. Such a system is easily taken advantage of. I see it all the time on other games. When someone gets mad at someone, they get their clan/guild/friends to file a complaint/report that person just so they will get banned or kicked. There usually isn't a valid reason for the initial report, so it wastes GM's time as well as the accused player's.

I oppose all secret surveillance of people by heart 
Imho gms are there to help players in first place. Knowing some might be stalking me secretly wouldn't make them to my favorite friends...
So, doing it without telling the players who get watched is really a no-go for me.
And: Shouldn't players get a chance to at least defend? 

We are doing this already.  It's more for the purpose of knowing what is going on IG RP-wise then for anything else, but if we see that moderation needs doing, we won't hesitate.  As it is, when players are reported or petitioned we watch  them.  We are under no obligation to tell them.  But if they do nothing wrong while we are watching, we don't act.  Thusly, you do get the chance to defend yourself.  You just don't know that's what you are doing.

I'd think we should move /ignore to server-side and not only don't give the ignoring party no updates on chat-messages but also only an update on position once in 10 sec of the ignored character.
This would be an ideal measure to ignore noobs repeatedly running through one's own char while letting you know whether the ignored player is still around or not.

Having it on server side it'd also allow for ignoring per account, not only char and giving GMs insight who's ignoring whom (which is what Sangwa suggested).
It'd be interesting to have auto-generated "system petitions" notifying GMs about a player being ignored by more than 3 people, for instance.
