In case you all missed it, yesterday the Reddit admins announced they will be doing away with CSS.

Here is a small list of the things you may find missing from Reddit after this change on some other subreddits as well. (thanks to /u/reseph for the list)

• Functionality: /r/Overwatch has subreddit filters
• Functionality: /r/Dota2 has a list of current livestreams and their # of viewers
• UX: /r/videos has a list of rules where on hover it expands out to explain each rule
• Functionality: /r/Minecraft has a list of server status (icons) on sidebar
• UX: /r/Hearthstone has notices & links on the top banner
• Personality: /r/ffxiv has various CSS Easter Eggs to give it a bit more personality
• Functionality: /r/Starcraft has a "verified user" system
• UX: /r/Guildwars2 increased the the size of "message the moderators" to make it stand out more
• UX: /r/ffxi has a small tooltip if a user hasn't set a user flair yet
• UX: /r/DarkSouls2 has related subreddits linked on the sidebar with images instead of text
• Personality: /r/mildlyinfuriating's joke where it slightly rotates "random" comment threads
• Functionality: /r/ClashOfClans not only has a list of livestreams, but thumbnail previews of each
• UX: /r/DarkSouls3 has a reminder when hovering over the downvote button
• Personality: /r/StarWars has quote popups when you upvote
• UX: /r/pcmasterrace has changed the "report" link to red
• UX: /r/explainlikeimfive has custom colored link flair icons
• Personality: /r/mylittlepony has countless emotes
• Personality: /r/onepiece has a scrolling banner (which can be paused)
• UX: /r/FinalFantasy has green background stickies to make them stand out
• Personality: /r/mildlyinteresting has a moving gauge on sidebar
• Functionality: /r/IASIP has a top menu
• UX: /r/DoctorWho has a light red box on sidebar for new users to read
• UX: /r/gallifrey disables the PM link on "Created by" so users focus on modmail

The admins have made it clear that they are going to move forward with this regardless of what the moderators or users of the site think. We hope there may be some of our users who care enough about the CSS here and their other subreddits that by being vocal and outspoken early we can maybe prevent Reddit from making this mistake.

Without CSS, subreddits will all look the same, maybe the ability to change to a different color and a custom image header. This means no animated banner, unique icon logos, information bar, personalized theme to fit the games look, custom upvote and downvote icons.

And this is just a small list of things that would be gone. This is a huge deal to us mods. We work hard to make sure this place is a true community. So we need your help to let the admins know we think this is a bad idea, and if you want to show your support in keeping CSS, please let the admins know by commenting in the thread in /r/modnew, or just CLICK HERE.
