I want the ability to ignore calls coming in on a call queue
Our calls all come in on a call queue, so the phone rings everybody in the office. If I know the call isn't for me, I would like to be able to ignore the call. Currently when I click "ignore", it stops ringing for a second, then just starts ringing again. So basically the ignore button does nothing. Can you make it so clicking ignore stops that call from ringing me (or anyone else who clicks ignore)?

Problem Statement: Queue members are unable to decline calls for their queue. If your call queue is set to "Simultaneous Ringing" and you decline a call for that call queue, it will continue to ring until someone in the queue answers it.
Feature request/proposed solution: Add an option for call queues along the lines of: "When user ignores a call, do not ring that user's device for the same call." (Would still want other user's devices to ring.)
Looks like this was also requested elsewhere* but I wanted to articulate the problem further.

I would like to add our name to this hat.
This only happens when a call queue is set up for simultaneous ringing, however, there isn't a great workaround for being able to "permanently" decline a call.
If this could even be added as an option or toggle, that would be excellent.

The current behavior of the call queue calls is that, if a member of a call queue ignores the call, it will continue to ring until the call is answered or the caller hang up.
It would be better if after ignoring the call, the ringing stops and only continues to ring on other members of the call queue.
