After speaking with another user, I learned that ignoring someone does not block them from posting on your profile. A way to block a specific, troublesome person would be much better than having to block EVERYONE, and follow the people you want to allow. What do you guys think? Would this be a good / useful feature? I've never had the need for it myself, but I still think it should be a thing.

I do this:

Only the people I follow (in short, that I approve) will be able to post messages. They can still see my page though.

Right, but as I said in the OP, that is a bad way to be forced to handle it. You shouldn't have to remove public posting from other users because of one or two annoying people.

That's why I follow a lot of people :P
But I do get you point. Ignored users shouldn't be able to post in your page.

Forget it kiddo. I purged my page due to the insane amount of shitposters who pretty much do nothing but spam profiles with garbage (cough cough Ghostlatte)

Options like these cost money especially when it’s custom work, good luck with that.

It's options like this us Patreons pay for.
I hardly see why this should be Patrons only. That only requires additional site coding, and I do believe it is possible to implement for everyone.

Us Patreons are donating money to the site.
Problem solved.

It's not nothing to do with exclusivity, it's just a simple matter of truth.

Although no one I ignore has popped up on my profile. I still won't mind being able to completely ignore them.
I am personally not a big fan of closing off my profile and I personally won't want to close people off when it's only a few people I don't want to deal with.
