And if there was a vote mute, then it should be when you do !votemute and it shows a message on the screen, like a pop-up, where you write the reason and show the screenshot for the mods to check, these are both good ideas.
I thought of vote mute as a possible solution in the past because it acts as a deterrent and it actually improves the general experience of chat. If we're trying to make chat more welcoming, then an ignore feature like u mentioned on its own might be counterproductive because it won't immediately solve the problem for new users, and some people might be more inclined to just tolerate the behavior rather than ignoring users they might be friends with because they don't want to be left out of the conversation when people are being civil. I do agree that in practice a vote mute might be a little harsh and it completely depends on how its implemented, but it is a step in the right direction imo. But there's a big chance in my mind that it won't require additional features to just encourage a better atmosphere
