I get it as well, but there seems to be a limit of how much I need to copy and paste before it appears.

For example, for your post above this one.

Link doesn't appear if I only copy from 'I've' to 'this' but anymore and I get a link appearing. Not really sure if there's some sort of formula or something, it doesn't seem to be by letter count.

Yeah, it seems to have a threshold minimum of 7 "words." 7 "words" seem to be indicated by 6+ space characters.

var radvars = {
"min": 7,
"url": url,
"msg": model.l10n("readMore") + " ",
"allowLink": false,
"callback": function () {
helper.googleAnalytics.track("event", "Clipboard", locationHref);
helper.googleAnalytics.track("social", "Clipboard", locationHref);
helper.trackClickBack(helper.createLogCopyPaste());
helper.updateCopyPasteCounter()

If you have AdBlock on Chrome, click on the Options and check Easy Privacy (besides the default checked items) on the Filter List.

Try and see if it works - it worked for me.

I see it as well in Chrome (I never would have noticed if not for this thread though.)

More than likely a feature rather than a bug. Probably to enable quicker searching of related info. If someone posts a copy/pasta from one thread discussing a similar topic to another this way, it allows for a quick jump to the topic being discussed in the other thread.

Of course this is all under the assumption that the information is even related. I imagine that's why there's a word threshold, so that simply copying a word or two doesn't do it.

Ctrl C + That punch scene at the last episode of Soul Eater.

Result = That punch scene at the last episode of Soul Eater. Read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=595413&show=60#6ukuJmSCJqLZpErD.99

I copied that from a thread in Anime Discussions.

Probably not going to go away, so you'll likely just have to put up with it.

They didn't do it on "purpose" at all. It was included in the social network plugin they downloaded an added to the site. The purpose of it, as with the social network buttons, is to spread the website's link more to attract more visitors.

But yes, no very little chance of it going away.

AdBlock doesn't block most if not all "social" trackers among those obviously Google Analytics which is having a part in this. It let's those through without any mentioning of that. The only quite disappointing thing that I personally know of.

But even if I disable AdBlock, NoScript and Ghostery I don't have that neither in Firefox nor in Chrome.
Well, maybe it's my Kaspersky still blocking some vital things..
However, you might try using Ghostery after all (FF, don't know if there's a Chrome equivalent), it transparently blocks all those stupid trackers. There are 9 alone in this thread, 1 disappeared after re-activating my blocking plugins. Maybe it's gone with that?
Worth a shot.

Same problem, but instead of just appended text, this text copied instead of(!) selected one.
I have more than one way to copy text i need, but that's really annoying.

Seriously, this is an irritating 'feature.' Do enough people even quote content from MAL on other websites to justify having this coupled with every bit of copied forum text? It at least shouldn't appear when I'm pasting text from a thread into a reply I'm making.

Anyone else annoyed by this and want it removed in The Great MAL Renewal of 2020?

I've seen it once or twice. If there was a really long anime title and I couldn't bother to type it, I would copy and paste it and the link thing would be there.

This silly 'feature' plus the whole 'try to keep to less than 4 quotes in a post' 'rule' gets very tedious very fast. I end up copying text and adding in in quote tags manually, rather than just pressing 'quote' again because I have to delete less text.

Mal is just like delete this, delete that, delete them, delete him, delete her, delete MAL...
