Well, I mean, do the work, inform all major subreddits that the old custom styles system will be dropped on X date, these commonly used styles will no longer be allowed, these are your new constrained API's/Tools you can use to customize your subreddit. The legacy system will be allowed until then. Please access your subreddit via this testing module/beta version to see how your subreddit will look if you fail to make the necessary changes by that date.
Then start the doomsday clock. That's the polite way to move forward.

Don't you just *love* it, when the random subreddit link is differently positioned on each subreddit?
Or when you have to figure out whether that custom inbox icon means you've got a message or not?
Or when /r/mildlyinfuriating decides it would be *so meta* to make everything on the subreddit spin and be generally infuriating to browse?
I'm so glad spoiler tags are a built-in feature now, because it was the only thing that kept me from turning custom styling off altogether.

Woah, no. Crazy looking css is what sets subs apart and gives them a unique charm. My favorite sub completely redoes its background and header and everything every month or so and makes the cursor a fucking christmas tree during the holidays. It's the best.
