I know very little about CSS and even less about reddit. I know that reddit allows the use of CSS (or something similar) to drive design changes from the default page layout. My question is: Is it possible to make the voting buttons sign the user out?

It wouldn't be possible to trigger that with CSS alone, no and would likely also get you banned.

That sucks. I figured out how to hide the buttons and score but i'm still trying to see if i can get the vote buttons to do something they weren't intended to do

Sounds like fun, I am interested to hear how it goes. Check this out maybe will give you some ideas: https://css-tricks.com/the-checkbox-hack/

I haven't tested this, but since you can't change the link the buttons go to, and you can't make anything follow the cursor, I think this is the only way: 1. First, use * { z-index: 1 } to give every element a normalized z-index (this is probably the default, but still) 2. Second, find the log out button, and give it css like position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 0;. This means it will take up the entire screen, but it will be behind every element given z-index 1 by the previous rule. 3. Lastly, find the upvote/downvote buttons, and give it css like z-index: -1. This puts it behind every other item, including the logout link from the previous rule. A lot of this is exercise to the reader, but the idea is that you might be able to use the position-absolute trick on the log out link to make it take up the entire screen, and the z-index trick so that every other item is on top of that link except the voting buttons. Finally, remember that users can disable custom CSS, and it isn't respected on new reddit at all.

Nah that won't work there's lots of stuff in front of the gigantic logout link in that case, the comment's background box for example. You probably need to give that logout button a `display: block`, `position: absolute` and put it over top of the left hand side of the screen just about where most of the vote buttons are. That's mostly all you can do. If you find a way to do what you suggest, then a good way to make the user's cursor completely ignore some element is `pointer-events: none`.
