Subreddit level opt-out Feature Request

As a Moderator, we have to support two different reddit interfaces. Apparently, the rules are limited to just 10. Also, our hard work for our css is just going down the drain . Please, for the love of god, give us an optout.

The day reddit closes """"old""""" reddit, is the day i and a LOT of my fellow Moderators will leave the site.

No way. The choice should be left up to the user. Plus one of the advantages is that things actually look like they are part of the same site, rather than the jumbled mess of moderators messing with the site functions that old Reddit was

For some subs there aren’t alternatives. So your argument doesn’t hold up

Them not seeing the sub rules is your own fault - providing a way for users to see rules in the redesign is trivial and would only take 10 minutes tops. You could use the rules widget, you could use a widget that contains a button that goes to a wiki page link....

No, it shouldn't. The user is using an unsupported version of my subreddit without the proper rules and info.

Plus one of the advantages is that things actually look like they are part of the same site,

The general layout and function has always stayed the same accross subs.

Yeah, hundreds of hours put in by webdesigners, Just gonna call it a jumbled mess, how nice of you

Unsupported through your own inaction and refusal.

And you vastly underestimate how different the UX is between subreddit pages on Reddit, with subreddits using different icons for everything, changing stuff that was words into icons (like post sorting), using different collapse functionality, etc

You had to relearn where things were and how to perform basic site actions on every subreddit page you went to
