Agreed.
That is also a significant negative. We certainly don't want users to be troubled when they copy-and-paste into editors.
If we were seeing Tynt generating significant attribution links back to the site, then it might make sense to ask posters to opt-out on a broswer-by-browser basis. However, since we are only seeing an insignificant number of attribution links back to the site, the benefit of Tynt does not outweight the negatives for a forum like ours.
We greatly appreciate feedback from our users. Thank you very much.
