Currently there is no /ignore as a result of quite the heated discussion. Mostly this is because if a person becomes a problem, they should rather be reported so they can be dealt with such that they don't affect more players. But also because ignoring or filtering chat can be viewed as censorship, this has become a hot topic. That said I'd appreciate if we kept this civil.
My personal opinion is that this is in fact censoring chat, and I'd much prefer it if I was able to use my own language and it being actually received. If it is received negatively, that should be my fault and I should deal with the consequences. Though I also think that strong language is just a part of any vocabulary and makes language more expressive, which I value greatly. If I'm talking to someone I know have the filter enabled, I won't be able to express myself in the extent I wish. So basically I think it's like imposing limitations on what people can say to you and around you. Whether that's good or bad depends on the context. As a rule of thumb, if it's directed at someone's personal hardship or grief, you can keep it to yourself. Though at that point it basically becomes impossible to filter out specifically so human labor for this is really the only way.
Semi-related. It's about expression over chat:
