Is there a way to silence threads?

Hi team!
I'm really, really not interested in all the general threads in The Den with hundreds and hundreds of pages. Unfortunately, whenever I click on "Show unread posts", they always turn up in the search results. I like The Den's subforums, so I wouldn't want to block out that section entirely, but is there a way to mute individual threads within so they don't show as new posts?
Thank you!
