>Had subscription for quite a few years, but really got turned off by the amount of useless chatter. I realize that it is from a minority of people who either like to see there names in print or think they are VIP.

Most of these are in the Chatter forum. You may simply remove the Chatter forum from your list of forums for participation. You can also filter the Chatter category of a specific forum. Let me know if that is the option that might resolve that issue. Let me know also about anything else that would justify your participation back as a subscriber.
