Goodbye /r/trees theme, goodbye subreddit individuality, goodbye promoting smaller subs with menus, goodbye weed leaves when upvoting, goodbye TreesRadio and Tree's chatroom links, goodbye custom flair, hello homogenous Reddit!
Post Body

We just wanted to let you guys know, the users that all these features will soon be gone. We loved them but the Reddit admins decided we don't need CSS anymore.

Here is a small list of just a small bit 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 don't care what the moderators or users of the site think however and they know best and will be pushing forward with this development. 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.

 

I'm still waiting on Admin responses to my questioning here but I doubt they will respond as they commonly don't answer tough questions. Edit: Admin reply, My reply back


Without CSS subreddits will all look the same, maybe the ability to change to a different color and a custom image header. We figured we would give you a heads up to help ease the transition since some of you inevitably will be confused and miss the old stuff as we will.


you can also visit /r/proCSS for more info/organizing


If you want to keep CSS please let the admins know by messaging one of them or commenting in that thread above to one of them. You can also message /u/spez by clicking this link (please be polite)
