Aside from rehashing the overhead nameplates to be smaller and more informative, cleanplates allows you to define filters for which nameplates you want to display. For example in arenas I have them setup to only display hostile players and a select few totems, everything else (snake traps, blood worms, etc) can be excluded from view
