Description
Suggestion
Occasionally somebody posts a message which is really ugly/distracting/stupid and keeps cluttering up your timeline. You don't want to ignore the user outright, given they sometimes post useful stuff, but you could do without seeing this message every time you switch to a given conversation.
It would be nice if we could maintain a list of events somewhere which your client can ignore. Simplest case, I guess it'd be a list in account_data similar to ignoring users.

Research direction
Start by reading the proposed ability to ignore individual events in this issue, then review the referenced Matrix Spec Proposals pull requests 3840 and 2270. Determine the protocol and account_data changes needed for clients to maintain and apply an event-ignore list; the work is done when the specification defines that behavior clearly.
