Option to stop post notifications?

I'd really love an option to turn off post notifications, ideally for individual posts. We have the hide button but it doesn't stop new notifications coming in. Sometimes drama gets too heavy and I just really don't want to get notified every time somebody comments on a topic anymore, or a topic is just plain not worth notification of, ie. a poll or test pics that I really don't need to know how many other people have voted/commented on.
