This is especially useful for popular events. Is everyone tweeting about the Oscars? Supermute "Oscars" for 6 hours: peace and quiet.
Announcing a Twitter tool: Supermute! Mute anyone who says [whatever phrase] in the next N hours, then unmute them. https://supermute.feeltrain.com pic.twitter.com/frczIuvn7E

Also good for TV spoilers. Are people on the East Coast tweeting about your fav show 3 hours early? Supermute the show name for a few hours!

It works from a mobile web browser too. Adding @-based functionality opens up some potential security holes I'd rather avoid
