If there are absolutely no standards at all where does that get us? How do we build a functioning system without some idea of what works and what doesn't. Clearly the system of just going fuck it zero standards doesn't work and having strict rules that can be abused by power mods doesn't work, so what would work you tell me?
Again, the name of the sub is literally whatever. It's always been a catch all, especially to 99% of YOUR users who are voat refugees.
You keep talking about abuse, and now you're implying a broken site.
How the fuck is posting whatever the fuck, to whatever abuse, exactly?
How does it break anything, exactly?
Here is why, people will abuse it whatever is a default for things that don't have a place, if everyone posts everything to whatever well then whatever isn't really whatever anymore its anything. Seriously when you go to post it auto populates a list of subs how hard is it to try and find one that might fit the interest? What is the point of having subs at all if everyone just puts everything into whatever?
