View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools
Hi /u/powerlanguage! I'm a mod from /r/PuzzleAndDragons.
I'm posting because I'm worried about how these changes are going to affect the immersion in our sub. Our sub relies on a tool our mod team developed known as iconify[1], which contains over 4000 icons and codes which were manually placed into the sub's css files and coded to show up on the site for our posts and wikis[2].

2: https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzleAndDragons/wiki/guides/leaders/durga
Our sub heavily relies on this functionality and removing CSS support would invalidate hundreds of hours of work put into making these resources available. Is there any plan to have a similar (UNLIMITED?) image code support? I am worried that emotes will not cover the scope of our current system, given how there are limits on so many other things on reddit, and how manually uploading 4000 icons would be a waste of everyone's time. Thank you.
here are some images comparing what it looks like with/without CSS:

Individual subreddits need to have the option to opt out. Failing that possibility, this project should be cancelled.

PuzzleandDragons member here...that change is painful.
Moreover, I have my own personal subreddit that I use for my storytelling. This is not a good thing.
CSS is well understood with massive amounts of documentation. Abandoning something like that is going to cause a lot of pain, possibly irrevocably.

This site is a joke if they go thru with this in the face of so much opposition from its users.

from what i can tell, say goodbye to colour or any sort of uniqueness, since they're just listening and disregarding any sort of opposition
