urls if you can, anon. Some people have been burnt by fake tweets. eg: this took me 30 seconds to make up. But for someone to disprove it, woud take a bit more:
It saves anons a lot of time when OPs thoroughly source their stuff. That way we don't have to track it down from the other direction.
I think the best format for sharing tweets/truths is a screenshot (so everyone can view it regardless of their account status) followed by a link to the truth/tweet in the first comment.
It's especially helpful for historical digs. The older a Tweet is the harder it is to dig out of Twitter w/out a direct link.
i mean its a courtesy though, and not providing a direct link to something so easily verifiable doesn't count as making a sauceless post. whose time is being saved when one anon spends ten seconds retrieving a link instead of another anon?
One anon retrieving a link saves time for every other anon reading it (those who care about such things, anyway). So possibly hundreds of people are saved that time.
But I think the biggest benefit would be the reduction of fake posts. Sometimes it's embarrassing what some people have posted here that ended up being fake. Every fake post that gets posted here damages the integrity of GAW. This is supposed to be an elite research board, after all. If we can't do the most basic of things like include a url with info we provide, what does that say to the nature of the research provided?
Also, once fake info gets out there, it's impossible to erase it from the minds of people who see it and then believe it. And it doesn't even have to be 100% fake or wrong to cause problems. Just think if the person who first posted that Q said "The First Arrest Will Shock The World!!!" had bothered to look up the URL to those Q drops and double-checked their info and we wouldn't have to constantly correct people and tell them Q never said that. Think of all the aggravation that could have been saved there.
I really don't see a valid reason to NOT provide a URL.
Sauce please?
the sauce is readily apparent, no? what are you expecting to get here?

PS that was all just bs, don't take it seriously, do not research it, i wrote that and it's not serious nor do i think that.
oh wow, you can use paint... i'm just saying her username is right there, its pretty easy to find the source.
it was f12 dev console and a screenshot :D but yeah, we need links on requests for image-only posts.
