1 product name, 3 words --> 3 misleading autolinks

Same.

It would help if the styling were a bit less obtrusive. Links made on purpose get less visual attraction. So the balance is tilted to the wrong side.

Example: last week I read an article that George Martin slept in a cupboard in the Abbey Road studios.

What I do not understand is that "products mentioned" is always nothing despite autolinks finding some (false positives)

Hope the companies that are being mislabeled are not potential or current advertisers on KVR, that would be embarrassing.

Well, whatever, this is a site that monetizes via advertising...
I will say this: that shit doesn't work on me, the psychological effect here is 'avoid like plague' as it's just gross

There should really be an "Exclude" list for common words. Example, I just used the phrase "put a Gain plugin" on that, and boom auto-link to some plugin I never heard of called "Gain." Ugh...

I really can't stand it. It's tolerable when a product has a specific name like Blackhole. But it's annoying AF when it comes to generic things like Gain. It seems wrong more often than it's right in my experience. It also seems to only work in certain forums, as it doesn't happen here.

Yeah, it's just as obnoxious as it has been from day one.
Artificial Idiocy.
This has brought the quality of KVR down a couple of notches in one single stroke.
Just replace your brain with a search and replace and have some tea, you'll not notice a thing...

Oh sure! Let's just toss proper nouns out the window because of an autolink system!!!

Here's another post that triggered the awful-link system:

viewtopic.php?p=8172971#p8172971

...I think the solution would just be to have an exclude list for common terms.
