What would Veeky Forums look like if unsourced posts were instantly removed?

>arguing about a subject I don't really know anything about

ebin

I dont think mods have the autism to keep that up.

I have an even better one

UM YOU GOT A SOURCE FOR THAT ""MEMETEXT"" BUD?

beautiful but also less memes

Your post would be removed faggot
>(citation needed)

What percentage of the people on Veeky Forums do you think actually know what they're talking about?

cite your source

...

I want a forum with the memes of Veeky Forums and the scholarly arguments of a place that is not Veeky Forums

>trying to stratify a subjective quality

Unironically this. Also this place has birth but as a typical newfag op doesn't realize that in order to truly appreciate Veeky Forums you have to lurk. The lurk for your first year meme is actually the best advice to give anyone who goes on Veeky Forums for the fist time. It's what I did. Now I make god tier threads every now and then that last for days and get archived.

So youre admitting to being the cancer that is killing this board?

>cancer that is killing this board meme
called, they want their faggot back

Cite your source please

New rule Veeky Forums we must all cite according to the most recent edition of the Turabian style guide. Chicago style is also acceptable.

source?

Got a source for that?

why would I need to dig up sources for some thick lipped jigaboo, you've got internet

8/10 times requests for source aren't done in good faith.

Modern Humanities Research Association master race.

Greentexting was a mistake.
It’s just an excuse for idiots and trolls to misinterpret arguments via strawman and shifting the goalpost.

These people need to be banned tbqh

Sometimez calling someone /pol/ is relevant, the Global rule #3 is active here

It is NEVER enforced.

This guy gets it

Sometimes calling someone /leftypol/ is relevant.
Keep your boogy men out of my discussion. Unless someone puts themselves as /pol/ I don't want retards like you shitting up actual discussion

Where’s your fucking source?

What the fuck does it matter what the intentions are of the person asking? If you can't provide a source to support a contentious historical claim, then you're a faggot and should be ignored, end of story.

I mean... yeah? You should be using academic sources.

Academia is full of Jews.

This isn't /pol/.

nod an argumend

It's not University of Suck My Cut Cock either.

>Argue on Veeky Forums
>Make up my facts
>Stop responding when someone asks me to cite my sources

You seem to be under the impression that any source is a good source. I mean, I could find a youtube video or blog that says candy canes were invented by the Polish mafia, that doesn't mean that they're legitimate sources which back up my claim.

You people understand that compiling citations is a complex process in itself, correct? That's why 9.99/10 times when you ask for cites the person rushes to google and gives you whatever shoddy link comes up first. Imagine keeping citation from everywhere you've ever gained knowledge? It'd be ridiculous.

People aren't asking for citations down to the page number, they're asking for a source that backs up a claim.

Yes, it's unreasonable to expect someone to keep a citation of everything they've learned. But you should be able to find something to back you up during an argument even if you can't remember exactly where you, yourself, learned it. Or if not, be willing to explain why.

>You people understand that compiling citations is a complex process in itself, correct?
No, it isn't, in most cases it's quite easy to find a non-bullshit source for something that isn't bullshit. And what are you supposed to do if someone can't cite something?
>[claim]
>I doubt that claim, can you provide a source?
>lol, you expect me to remember shit like that?
Where is the conversation supposed to go from there?

I feel stupid for not knowing what that is. Please explain, oh wise one.

>arguing with person on Veeky Forums
>reply multiple times to them pretending to be different people saying things like ">autism" & ">being this retarded"
>Win argument

This is truly how to win an argument.

It is on

But what if the sources cited by your sources don't cite their sources?

I respect the man who just stops posting and leaves more than the guy who just shitflings for 50 posts after the fact stubbornly refusing to budge and inch. It’s like fuck man, it’s anonymous, just walk away it’ll be gone tomorrow.
