How to Remove 301 Redirects in XenForo Forum?

[Newman]

I recently ran my web forum through an SEO crawler program and the results weren't great. I was told that I have way too many 301 redirects on the website. Actually, most of my site's links are redirects, which, from what I understand, is terrible for SEO. So right now, my goal is to get rid of these links. I either want them gone altogether or to keep the links, but remove the part that redirects. I looked around and have discovered that there are two different redirect types:

https://example.com/forum/threads/1/[B]post-1[/B]

https://example.com/forum/threads/1/[B]latest[/B]

Do you see the /post-1 and the /latest portions appended to the URLs above? This is what the link is supposed to look like without a redirect:

https://example.com/forum/threads/1/

How do I remove the redirects? Is there a setting in the ACP?
