I've been using the two top links to help speed up my browsing, and among other things, there have been a couple posts I now regret having gotten involved in, which I should really stop reading because certain peoples' opinions drive me up the wall, and I don't want to get banned for accidentally posting frustrated jokes which are misinterpreted as threats of violence. (Unfortunately, not an exaggeration, I posted such in a thread on GitP and got a warning.) Better to remove it from my active posts and aid my self-control.

There's also the newbie agreement post, which is put back on the active unread replies every time we get a new member. Since EVERYONE needs to post in that one, everyone is subscribed to it.

I've been trying to find a way to unsubscribe to this as well.

It's not really a subscription, just informative.
However, if you want an alternative... Take a look at the button that's appeared to the right of Reply at the bottom of a thread, and to My Messages in the top bar.

there's a couple of those like that for me as well.
I've come up with a quite effective, yet amazingly simple, solution .... I just don't click on that thread.  Done.

It's so simple that it might actually work! Thanks wotmaniac!

That doesn't actually solve anything since the question is how to make them not appear in the "new replies to your posts" section.  Not clicking on the thread just leaves it there permanently.

You're welcome, ImperatorK.   :cool

Seriously, just hit the "mark all as read" when you're done reading what you care to read.  I don't see why it's such a big deal.

If the answer is no then that's all there is to it.

But please don't make fun of me for simply asking if a convenience was available. There's no need to be so snarky and dismissive.

Look, I'm a bit of a smart-ass; but it is rarely mean-spirited.  In retrospect, I probably should have included an appropriate smiley, such as  :p or  :P or something.  Just trying to have a little fun, but not necessarily at someone's expense.

Here, maybe this guy can help:
