There was a huge influx of Voaters in December and they were posting everything and anything in rather than in the appropriate subs. I believe it was disabled to encourage them to use the site in a more orderly manner.

So what did we all decide?

Yup goats from Voat didn't know better. Over there it was encouraged to post in 'whatever' anything that you didn't know where to put, or just didn't feel like categorizing.

Can we just stop for a minute and analyze what were talking about?

Holy shit guys its literally the name of the fucking sub "Whatever"

WHATEVER

What does "whatever" mean?

What does the word "whatever" stand for?

It means unspecified or not important enough to specify.

If someone is writing a post for fun or discussion and they just feel neutral or "whatever" about the post themselves - then they are free to post in the "whatever" sub.

Its not up to anal rentative mods with too much time on their hands to re-appropriate someone elses post because "they believe it belongs somewhere else".

You are tainting someone else's post - however meaningless.

That wasnt the intention of OP.

If the OP feels like "whatever" - they should be able to post in /whatever.

The SAME WAY if I felt like talking about apples I would post to /apples

The SAME WAY if I felt like talking about ataris I would post to /atari.

The SAME WAY if I felt like talking about DSPs and frequency modulation I would post to /DSPsandfrequencymodulation.

Its grade A faggotry. We arent in grade school, we dont have a dress code, we dont need to form a line - if someone feels like posting in whatever - it should be their right to, its how they feel in their mind and hearts at the time of writing the post - and it fits within the realm of the definiton of the word WHATEVER.

So ANY post to /whatever is topical and valid based on the definition of the word.

"Hrrrmmm, I detect this post has a hint of political nature to it - I MUST MOVE TO POLITICS IMMEDIATELY SO EVERYTHING CAN BE ORGANIZED BY MY NEEDS"

poops self a little from excitement

"Hrrrmmmm, I detect some sarcasm in this post I MUST MOVE IT TO FUNNY SO THAT EVERYONE'S THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS CAN BE ORGANIZED BY MY CATEGORICAL JURISDICTION"

squirts out another little kernel from the thrill of being a powermod

Lets be real about it:

faggot working at music store

sees new Beck album

"somehow this is in the indie/alternative section, but on this album he mostly plays acoustic guitar"

moves Beck album to Country section

cups a quaff from down below up to his nose so he can smell how good he is

I am categorizing music!

Many Mega More Power shaloms of agreement brother

I was a champion shalom skier back at River Canyon Heights High.

They called me "white lightning", but I told them we're not white and to call me "kosher lightning" but none of them listened until the lawsuit and now they buff my six pointed plaque twice a week in the admin building.

Who wants motza balls?!!
