Ability to see game groups that you get automatically added to when you play a game

I'm trying to clean up my BGA feed page to only show content I'm actually interested in seeing. However, it appears I was automatically added to groups for games I've played on the site. Now, anytime someone posts a message to "<game_name> Players", I get those messages in my feed. I went through many of the games on the site to earn the played all games acheivement and most of those games I don't intend to ever revisit and so I'm not interested in seeing updates to them or information about their latest Arena settings.
Is there a way for me to view all the game-specific groups I've been auto-joined to? If not, where can I submit a feature request?

There are not exactly the same thing as groups, so you can't quit them : /

This cannot be accurate since you can clearly "quit" a game group as shown in this screenshot. So, surely there would be a way to buik-quit any game group you're a member of, somehow. For someone who has played, at least once, a majority of the games on BGA, this feature would be much appreciated.

Actually you can quit them, but I'm unaware of a way to list all of them at once and select ones to quit in bulk.
The OP knows how to quit them, but for those who don't: Use the sitewide search bar (upper-left in a non-mobile browser) then search for the game name. If you are in the Group it will appear as "<game_name> Players" under the heading "Groups" at the bottom. It is considered a private group, so the group won't show if you're not in it, i.e., you haven't played the game, or you previously quit the group. You can leave using the "Quit Group" button.

That's cool! But notice you have to use the BGA name (usually english, sometimes with and sometimes without blanks) of the game to find the group. For example, if I want to find the game page of Ark Nova on BGA, I have to use the game name in my language ("arche nova"), but to find the group, I have to search for "arknova".

At the beginning of each Arena season, you will receive a notification from each of the groups you are a member of, explaining the new Arena mode for the upcoming season.
You can see this on the
welcome page, and then spot all the groups you might want to leave.

This is only a partial list because updates only show up if there is a change in settings from the old season to the new season. If there is no change a game won't appear in that information feed. For example, I'm in over 90 <game name> players groups, but only got 14 updates for the new Arena season.
But it's better than nothing.
