Is there a way in vBulletin to ignore threads instead of people?

...Either built-in, or something that can be installed? I know I can click on ignore and not see posts by certain people, but I don't want to ignore people... just some of the threads that they start, that's all. It's not a judgement call, either. I don't want to sound like I'm having a problem with anyone. Not like that at all. But I am getting real tired of every other thread having the word "Thuban" or "Abrax" in the title.

It would be cool if there was a filter that could be installed that allows a user to select words to filter out NOT to show in the "New Posts" list. Something where I could go in there and put words like thuban, abrax, why, did, mods, close, thread, etc., and have any threads with those words in the title NOT show up for me.

I know, I'm dreaming. And yes, I can just not click on them. But they actually cause a bit of anxiety in me, just seeing the "broken record" syndrome occurring in multiple aspects of reality.
