This post was copied from a PM that I sent to a Developer, kpwn243. I'm hoping to get community feedback and input.
Hi,
As you may know, there are a whole lot of clans and teams on MCSG. Naturally, virtually all of them have threads.
A lot of forumers aren't here for that, but those threads often get in the way when we're trying to find discussions to read about and post about. Specifically, in the New Posts area.

I went through a mere two pages of the New Posts section, and found this:
http://prntscr.com/46pyjx
http://prntscr.com/46pyqm
I hadn't even screenshotted the entire page, as my screen is only so large and I didn't zoom out.
Would it be at all possible to implement some sort of filter, to either choose which sections we do or do not read posts from, or just to block the threads from the Clans and Teams section entirely? There's simply so many, it's gotten to the point of absurdity. And, a massive amount of the threads that belong to the clans have just a few dozen posts, and maybe five or so members.
Yes, there are of course clan threads that have hundreds or even thousands of posts - I used to have one myself - but it's simply absurd how many there are that don't. If someone is interested in a clan, all they have to do is go to the Clans and Teams section.
It may seem like a minor inconvenience to simply overlook the clan threads, but when someone like me goes on the New Posts section dozens of times a day, for months, it really does get on my nerves. This has been suggested before, but as far as I know, it's gone relatively ignored or looked over for "more important" issues, or something like that.
Now, I've heard once or twice from an Admin/Dev (I forget exactly who) that it's best to give a direct suggestion, such as a XenForo add-on, so here you go:

I'm not a XenForo-guy or anything, but this seems to be pretty much what I'm looking for...?

Yeah, uh... discuss?
