About hiding or adapt parts of the skin (by admins) to the view of other users

Hi.

Most of us are very annoyed about this new mandatory skin, but some of us don't feel so angry to leave or to post even more complains on this blog because whe think we can adapt this skin to our needs, removing unnecessary stuff from it, making it full width instead of fixed width, and some other things.

Of course, ads won't be touched because it's not allowed according to the Terms of Use.

But yesteday, on IRC, Joeyaa posted some CSS making the skin full width and hiding parts of the skin, and Uberfuzzy, a Staff member, said that it isn't allowed to be applied to the entire wiki: Only for you.

Please, take a look at this conversation because it's pretty clear that wikia plan to update the Terms of Use to remove admins the ability to modify parts of the skin to the view of all users of the wiki.

So now we'll be only able to change the color and backgrounds of the skin using the tools that Wikia is developing. Nothing more.

Sorry Uberfuzzy, but as you said, that's something that isn't to be discussed on IRC.
