I made this suggestion some time ago:
How about having ignores and peoplemarks expire by default after a period of time, say 1 year, unless extended by the member. You could have them highlighted for maybe a month before expiration, and the member could click on them to extend/renew their status.

Elaborated on a bit here:
...My point is that someone whose following was built up touting dodgy internet stocks in 1999 may have a large number of peoplemarks, but none of that person's fans are still around. Likewise the paid tout moron you may have had a dispute with about that time is still ignoring you, but has long since flamed out.
One quick way to assess a poster you're not familiar with is to look at the peoplemark/ignore ratio. That works better if the data are reasonably fresh. I'm not a computer programmer by any means, but it seems like it might be reasonably easy to program and free of adverse consequences.

I agree with you that we don't want to have to do anything, thus the default option is to have marks and ignores disappear. If a user wants them to stay, it's up to the member to specify it. I would; most of my marks are folks who haven't posted in years, but whom I'd like to read if they did.

But I guess SIBob was busy.<g>

Any thoughts?
