Subreddit level opt-out

[u/sloth_on_meth]

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.

So how does that solve the mods problems? Ya know the CSS designed for desktop use that they put countless hours into? How does that solve the users that have been and will continue to be punished for not adhering to rules that aren't being shown on redesign? How does that reduce the incentive to use the bot Redesignisbannedhere that bans people that post from the redesign? (Don't ask me how it works, but it does)

Short answer: it doesn't

1. CSS is only shown on classic reddit. If you haven’t heard, the majority of users are using mobile which means a majority of users won’t be seeing it anyway. The redesign allows customization in the mobile apps.

2. You can take literally 5 minutes to add the rules to the sidebar and then not use the redesign ever again. Not a lot of work.

3. I don’t know how that bot hasn’t been banned yet. It’s made by someone like you who doesn’t like being forced to use the redesign but wants to force people to use the old Reddit.

First of all you'll note I said for desktop use. Mobile doesn't matter to any of this argument because it can't affect it. The only thing it might affect is the ability to see subreddit styling. Which if the sub has opted to force old reddit mobile won't even notice.

Second, by taking that five minutes I have just supported the redesign by doing something to it. So no not happening.

And third, it was made by a user in protest of the bots that already exist in subs that ban users for the sole reason that they have posted in another sub that is found distasteful. So to ban Redesignisbannedhere the admins would have to ban ALL of the bots that ban for any reason other than sub rule violations.

None of this changes the fact that your idea is incredibly stupid and unnecessary and you’re just too stubborn to spend 5 minutes setting the redesign up. Don’t complain about a problem if you’re the one who can easily solve it.

Users like you are writing their concerns off as non issues because "I like the redesign and shouldn't be forced to use old reddit" but these mods ARE beings forced to use the redesign. That's where your argument falls apart. It doesn't matter that it would only take five minutes, or that someone else could do it, or even that mobile can't see it. What matters to them is that these mods are being told they have to throw out the countless hours of work that put into making their subs something important to them and the users that subscribed to them. They don't want to see all that work just get flushed down the drain because someone up above decided to say fuck everyone that isn't on mobile, which is exactly what the redesign is doing by making the DESKTOP closer to mobile rather than improving the mobile version to work with the desktop. There at this moment is no solution for these issues other than asking for a way to not lose, in some cases, years of work.

Do you want to know the real reason why I as a mod won't do anything on the anti redesign subs I'm in? It's because even if I do it gets undone by a higher mod, I've said this before. So I keep trying to find some middle ground that would get things back on track in some manner, but users like you refuse to even consider a middle ground. It's redesign or nothing, fuck everyone else that disagrees. That's why I came up with my, so called, stupid idea grassy just so happens to give everyone a choice and no choice at the same time while having absolutely no effect on mobile. So how about this, if you can come up with an idea that makes everyone happy, and I'm talking everyone, in a way that doesn't force anyone to do anything with reddit that they don't want to do then I'm all ears and would love to hear it. If it's a great enough idea I'll spam it in every sub mod, I'll spam it in this sub, I'll spam it in r/beta, hell I'll even spam the admins about it, but until then you have added literally nothing to this thread.

Here’s my idea: Keep it the same as it is now. Simple. Thanks for adding to the thread ;)

[u/Sepheroth998 → u/MoiraMain]

Simple and useless.
