Sometimes, there’s certain users that just won’t get along. Instead of policing their discussions, its better for everyone if you can just add users to ignore. That way everyone wins. Does someone know how to do it or is there a similar plugin I can mess with ?

If you’re looking for “ignore” it isn’t called that, it’s called “mute”. The setting is in users’ profile preferences.
