Can we turn off random word hyperlinking already?

[Ondrashek06]

It has literally no purpose except to be annoying and make people think that there's a hyperlink, only to redirect them to a random GBATemp page. Who added this? Who thought that it's a good idea? Why can't we disable this?

Can you give me an example?

I think they mean things like Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, maybe reviews and cheats too? It’s just small things to link within the forum set to certain keywords.

Edit:
Seems only cheats worked out of those, that’s interesting. I guess it’s less aggressive than I remembered.

Tutorial, Nintendont, Cheats.

Edit: Oh nice, now those words won't hyperlink.

There's already a thread made, with instructions on how to turn them off. https://gbatemp.net/threads/why-do-mentioning-consoles-get-hyperlinked.622716/

It's only a userscript, though; nothing official. I would like to have a way to disable these, too.

I think they are needed for greater clarity, but it makes sense to send us to random pages
