/r/Europe has an amazing, new, shiny, revised set of rules

Why is this post garnering so many downvotes? Seems relatively reasonable; no particular need to go up in arms screaming "fuck the mods" over this, really. That aside, I've got just a few questions/comments:

Info-graphics, images, selfs posts and other similar content which makes (an) assertion(s) but lacks (a) source(s) will be removed. The original submitter [OP] should post the source (if it is not cited in the submission itself) as soon as possible. If the OP receives a message from a moderator stating that their post has been delisted [removed] due to lack of source, they may still provide the source and the the submission will be relisted [unremoved]. But moderators frequently require hours to respond to such messages.

What exactly constitutes a source? For instance, would a note like "Source: Economist Intelligence Unit" in a corner of an image suffice? How lenient or strict do you intend to be on content removals? I honestly wouldn't expect it to be that difficult for you guys to find the source of most images/infographics posted here; might it be possible to relatively loosely enforce this rule or loosen its conditions to be slightly more forgiving? It really only makes sense when it can't be verified, or the source can't be easily found.

Additionally, Holocaust Denial (of either the 1915 Armenian Genocide or the 1941-5 Holocaust of the Jews, homosexuals, the disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.) is completely unacceptable.

I think you need to learn what the Holocaust was... I think you're just searching for the term "genocide" here. Not to be a pest or seem homophobic/whatever, but as far as I know, there hasn't been anything that could be described as a genocide of homosexuals, the disabled, or Jehovah's Witnesses in recent history. plsnoban

It is not ok to make pejorative statements about large cultural, national or ethnic groups especially when these groups are not entered into by choice (e.g. race, gender,sexuality).

What does "entered into by choice" mean in this context? (I think you can probably generalize that entire section of bannable offenses to not being a dick.)
