Sharing because it's a great tip... and because there's a baby elephant in the screenshot :-)

Controlling your stream noise on Google+
You have five different positions for the control slider:
Go to your G+ Home page. On top you see 'ALL' and next to it the four of your circles' names, with More of them to the right in a dropdown.
Click open a circle stream from there.
On the top right of the white space you see a grey slider with 5 different positions: 'Show nothing', 'Show fewer things', 'Show most things' or 'Show everything from this stream in your All circles stream' and the bell where you can subscribe to this circle - get notifications of all the posts.
You can slide it the way you want on each individual circle.
If there are one or two very 'active' posters, you can place those in a circle of their own and use the slider to mute them totally.
Then you can just check those circle streams when you fancy it.
By moving the Circles around on your 'Circles' tab you can define which four are showing on top.
What's Hot posts in your stream
You can mute that stream in the same way: Go to the Explore page on the left and mute the slider.
If you have a 'Bookmarks' circle for sharing posts to yourself, you can mute that also.
Hope this helps!

I don't understand this part:
ReplyDelete"If there are one or two very 'active' posters, you can place those in a circle of their own and use the slider to mute them totally.

If they're in their own circle already, why would you then also mute that circle?
You'd essentially have two people in a circle, but see nothing from them.
From what I understand, the slider controls apply just to individual circles, not also to the main stream. Though if that's changed, then the suggestion would make sense, sort of.
