View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools

Fuck off, are you fucking kidding? We're going to lose our fucking spoiler codes, we're going to lose custom css hacks, we're going to lose comment faces? Are you seriously fucking joking right now? Why the fuck are you pouring effort into removing shit that we actually fucking use instead of giving us the tools we desperately need to moderate the fucking site? I'm fucking furious right now, this is fucking dumb.

This is probably the dumbest thing you guys have ever done, jfc.

Agreed. /r/anime is one of the biggest reasons I browse Reddit—the community is fun as fuck. If the CSS stylesheets are taken away, /r/anime loses so much of its individuality, so much of what makes it my favorite anime community on the internet, through no fault of its own. The comment faces, spoilers, thumbnails, etc. are such a great part of the community. You /r/anime mods have worked *so fucking hard* on the subreddit, we can tell, and it would be incredibly disappointing if these things are taken away.

This isn't the only community that would be damaged by the removal of all the dedicated CSS work by mods, of course. There are other gorgeous subreddits like /r/Pokemon which would completely lose their fantastic CSS work; I'd be pissed about the loss of CSS even on the much smaller subreddits I moderate, but /r/anime is one of the subreddits that I believe would have the most to lose through this change. It would be a colossal blow and would change the experience immensely.

Of course I don't expect the admins to stop the transition for the sake of one subreddit, but is there no way to make it optional?

Sooo, /u/geo1088... about that new css you were making...*

Our goal is to take care much of that burden so you can focus on helping your communities thrive.

Yay for getting rid of the parts that actually make moderating fun, can't wait for my only purpose to be thread and comment pacification.

/spikeohcomeon[1]I'm with you! r/mylittlepony, r/roleplayponies, and a few other subs rely heavily on a CSS emote system. There are *countless* threads and conversations that would cease to be readable and understandable without the context the system supplies.

Wait... This makes us lose spoiler code?

90% of my reddit use-age is anime/manga/tv series/movies.

That would make browsing reddit a lot less pleasant.

I spend a comical amount of time on r/anime. Removing the comment faces will inhibit the experience horrifically. I program for a living on complicated embedded systems. Providing no backwards compatibility is something that should be avoided whenever possible to avoid fucking over the userbase. This will seriously lead to me consider leaving reddit and just chilling on discord instead. Oh. and adblock will be on until this change is revoked.

Pretty much this. The least they could do is leave it in as an option for advanced users or some shit. Fucking comically dumb decision.

I'm right there with you. I spent so much time and so have my co-mods making my sub into what it is. Uggggggh.
