So...
You're following some specific threads in the forum... say the Current Projects Discussion. And you love that, and it inspires you to follow the Current Projects forum to see the projects as they come up.
And so you follow the forum, and find that it's too noisy, and it's cluttering your Following with projects you don't care about... so you unfollow the forum.
Did you just unfollow Current Projects Discussion?
In your example, I think you just did. You've now implicitly lost things that you explicitly wanted to follow or had participated in.
The concept of following things at different scopes is hard enough, but introducing unexpected behaviour will really confuse people.
We keep it simple... but keeping it simple doesn't accommodate complex edge cases "All the things (except these things)"... it's "All the things" or "None of the things".
As soon as we touch complex edge cases, people will be bitten by unexpected behaviour.

Think we are at cross purposes.
Unfollowing a forum should unfollow all the things in that forum.
What I was unsure about was the ability to:
1) follow a forum
2) unfollow any individual member element (e.g. thread) in that forum
3) have new elements created in that forum be automatically followed.
I now know that 1 and 2 are possible and expect 3 is the current behaviour, but am not sure.
An issue with me being on mobile most of the time is a lack of verbosity and ending up not being clear.
