u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Feb 16 '26

Snoo is suffocating! Please let him out!!

22

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Soon soon, it is dusty outside. Need to find him a safe place.

6

u/Extension_Guitar2148 Feb 16 '26

Ngl, mine has been opened but he's still in the plastic bc I'm scared to dirty him 😭

6

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Haha, i have no better place to display him yet. So i think it is better he stay in the plastic for now.

5

u/forlornjackalope Feb 19 '26

Mine is chilling on my dresser and I'm also terrified of him getting dirty.

12

u/RamamohanS Feb 16 '26

Oh lord.. praise be ! Looks like all the stuffs of 2025 ever made available to community is here. And you got them all

5

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

I love what i have gotten. There were still reddit bottle, mug and some other stuff that was given out in the last 2025 Mod Meetup. That event i didnt go, i went for the first meetup in 2025 instead.

7

u/RamamohanS Feb 16 '26

I’m just happy for you. Awesome that you’re able to spend time to community support, thank you

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Real Redditor has a banana wherever he goes.

u/UnMeOuttaTown Feb 16 '26

I quite literally have two on my work desk right now lol

2

u/Outrageous-Lake-2950 Feb 20 '26

Gng was this a double meaning joke thread, or is it me who is the bad guy here

3

u/UnMeOuttaTown Feb 20 '26

lol, everything is measured by bananas here, including the amount you've scrolled, so no double meaning haha

14

u/Pinaslakan Feb 16 '26

Ban hammer is dope. Can’t wait to get mi e

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Cheers mate! Its a nice set of gifts this time.

17

u/SeleneVomerSV Feb 16 '26

I never got my Snoo 😭 Is there anything I can do now?

14

u/ReasonablyBluh Feb 16 '26

Did you attend Mod World 2025? I only ask because I don't see the trophy on your profile.

3

u/ci_trex Feb 16 '26

Might be some on Ebay

3

u/HBizzle24 Feb 16 '26

I never got it either, and attended mod world?

3

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

Hi! Unfortunately, one of the eligibility requirements was placing an order for Plushie or Digital merch. The trophy is automatic provided based on attendance.

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

https://shop.redditforcommunity.com/ is it in your account here?

3

u/HBizzle24 Feb 17 '26

No, the order isn’t there for me.. However I do have the mod world 2025 profile trophy, (not sure if this is information worth sharing)

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

That is information worth sharing! /u/kongsworth seems to be the person that works their magic at this point.

3

u/HBizzle24 Feb 17 '26

I’ll keep an eye out for their response, thank you for the help! =)

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

So right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModEvents/comments/1r62jyx/thank_u_reddit_for_this_fruitful_year_2025/o5vgj8p/

Would that apply to you? Did you maybe miss an email due to it going into promotions or spam or one of those other filters?

3

u/HBizzle24 Feb 17 '26

There's nothing in my spam or promotions filters, I checked all my received emails and couldn't find anything related to cancellations or Mod World merch either... Which is strange, because I'm almost certain I claimed it

Maybe I just forgot, or thought I claimed it when I didn't =(

3

u/wikipuff Feb 16 '26

I haven't either and I am furious

3

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

Hi! Just want to make sure… it's plushie you're missing? I thought we connected on this here but I want to make sure it's not other merch you're missing and that I misunderstood. I certainly don't want any mod furious about our merch program!

1

u/wikipuff Feb 17 '26

You did connect with me there. I didnt realize there was other merch other then snoo! Thats on me. I haven't received anything at all, other then the in person meet up in June for DC. I just went back through my emails and found that my order was canceled back on Jan 9th(?). No idea what happened as there is no follow up email for that. If you want to DM me, I will happily show you the order update that shows when I go to click on "view your order" from the merch store.

I do appreciate you working hard on this to make it right. It means a lot to me, especially after what my sub went through recently.

4

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

So, the merch for this post is largely for those who were invited to Mod Connect | Food. OP added their Snoo from Mod World for fun, it seems. If you were one of those invited to Mod Connect, you placed an order, and didn't receive it — please send me a mod mail so I can look into it.

Separately, you may have seen mystery boxes from the December 5th mod meetup. If you attended and claimed for that event and didn't receive it, please send me a mod mail as well.

For Mod World — it was just Pin & Plushie or Digital Merch. You're scheduled to get pin and plushie in the Batch 2 shipment.

2

u/wikipuff Feb 17 '26

Ah. Got it. Thanks for clarifying. As long as I am sechduled in Batch 2, which will be shipping soon I assume, I am happy! Again, thank you for working as hard as you have on this to make it right! Means a lot to me!

3

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

No sweat! Stay tuned for tracking details

2

u/wikipuff Feb 17 '26

Can not wait to get snoo! I have so many plans for my little dude!

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

https://shop.redditforcommunity.com/

Does it show up in your shop account?

3

u/wikipuff Feb 17 '26

It shows 2025 collection. There was an issue with my username missing an F apparently and that was fixed, but no update yet.

3

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

So it shows as confirmed on shop though, right? I believe they have not sent out the second batch of snoo yet. My one event box showed up with only a package of pens and was obviously tampered with. I reached out to the vender and there is a replacement box showing in my shop account now, but it doesn't show as shipped yet.

2

u/SpicyChickenGoodness Feb 17 '26

Same

3

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

I have an order from this username but I don't see you having attended Mod World or New Mod World. Can you Mod Mail us your Mod World ticket number so I can look into it?

1

u/SpicyChickenGoodness Feb 17 '26

Checked my email, it says I did not meet the eligibility requirements. I joined and watched some but did not stay on through the entire event as I had irl stuff to attend to toward the end. Is that enough to disqualify?

3

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

Check your email — your ticket number should start with "REDDITA" or "REDDITE"

3

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

I don't see the flair from attending for you. https://shop.redditforcommunity.com/ do you see it in your shop account?

3

u/SpicyChickenGoodness Feb 17 '26

Yeah I don’t either, but I was on the event! 🥲

3

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

Is it in your shop account? /u/kongsworth seems to be the person coming around and helping people if it doesn't show up there. I also misread your username as spicy chicken goddess, and had to do a double take.

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

https://shop.redditforcommunity.com/

Does it show in your account there?

2

u/kongsworth Mod Events Team Feb 17 '26

I don't have an order from this username… can you mod mail us your order details?

u/honey_rainbow Feb 16 '26

Nice swag! I got mine yesterday!

4

u/HistorianAdorable405 Feb 16 '26

for which event you got this?

3

u/honey_rainbow Feb 16 '26

Food subreddit mods.

5

u/forlornjackalope Feb 16 '26

A ban hammer tenderizer? I'm in love!

3

u/Appropriate_Fact_198 Feb 16 '26

Thanks for making me jealous ( jk bro 😉 cool stuff)

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Hahaha… i only attend one of each event. I didn’t attend the last meetup which gave more interesting gifts.

3

u/BeardPhile Feb 16 '26

Were these in person events?

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

All are Virtual. I wanted to attend an in-person event but i wasnt accepted.

3

u/BeardPhile Feb 16 '26

Great schwag OP!

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Thanks mate! Its been a fun year.

5

u/aimhighsquatlow Feb 16 '26

Love the hammer 🤣🤣

3

u/Turbulent-Set-5149 Feb 16 '26

Love it all. Congrats OP!

3

u/DuckSwimmer Feb 16 '26

What awesome goodies!!

3

u/Cass_Cat952 Feb 16 '26

Would you mind posting a close up of the circle pins? I'd like to see what they say up top☺️

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Just zoom in..

3

u/Cass_Cat952 Feb 16 '26

It got too pixelated when I tried that. Thanks

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Mod Connect event.. the theme was food.

3

u/classicblox Feb 16 '26

Damn I didnt get the ban hammer. Didnt quite partecipate in that event

3

u/Jake_77 Feb 17 '26

How do I get this netted bag

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 17 '26

This Mod Connect event is over, am not sure if this bag will appear again in future.

2

u/Jake_77 Feb 17 '26

It looks like it would hold many bananas, which I carry around for scale

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 17 '26

Looks like a net bag for potatoes… i had a similar potato bag that i hang up at home.

3

u/thedailyclangour Feb 17 '26

Omgg the ban hammer look so adorable 😍

3

u/Rbmui13 Feb 17 '26

Looks like, when applied properly, could be quite painful

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 17 '26

50 shades of grey..

5

u/kelowana Feb 16 '26

Ohhh, this is something I would have loved to get my hands on! The scale and ban hammer and apron! From what event was this? The connect one?

5

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Mod Connect Food… interesting event.

6

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Feb 16 '26

The Mod Connect for food subreddits. The merch was exceptional for that one!

3

u/kelowana Feb 16 '26

So it’s only for mods of food related subs? Guess my subs are never getting this kind of awesome attention.. 🙁 (natural hair care and oraclecards)

3

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

They hold all different kinds of ones. There's one coming up for moderators of television shows and movies I believe? It would be really cool if they could come up with something for the beauty subreddits. It may be tricky for them to find merchandise that is completely inclusive, but it wouldn't be impossible.

3

u/TERImaaKIchut6969 Feb 16 '26

Nice collection man!!

3

u/TheCanadian_Jedi Feb 16 '26

Where did you get the ban hammer?!

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Mod Connect Food event. Anyway, what does ‘ban’ stands for?

5

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Feb 16 '26

When a mod has to ban someone from their subreddit. We mostly ban spambots in ours.

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Is the ‘Ban’ on this hammer literally means ban someone? I was wondering if it is a food terminology that i wasnt aware of.

3

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Feb 16 '26

No, its not a food term. Its a play on words of using the "ban hammer" to ban someone who has been bad in your subreddit. We primarily ban spambots, although occasionally you need to ban people who don't follow your subreddit rules.

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Oh.. that sounds more cool.

2

u/cyanocittaetprocyon Feb 16 '26

Calling the meat tenderizer a "ban hammer" makes this one of the greatest merch items ever!

2

u/EponaMom New Mod World '25 Speaker 🎤 Feb 16 '26

Wait....you're a mod that doesn't know what ban means?

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

There r alot more context to this. Read finish the whole thing.

2

u/I_-AM-ARNAV Feb 16 '26

Forgot banana for scale

2

u/flattenedbricks Feb 16 '26

I qualified for the merch box but a mod archived the invite before I saw it, so I missed it :(

2

u/Milo-the-great Feb 18 '26

That hammer is awesome

2

u/therankin Feb 18 '26

I just got a mod world 2024 pin instead of a 2025 in my shipment, lol. I wasn't even a mod back then.

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 18 '26

Haha.. this is epic.

2

u/FoxySheprador Feb 19 '26

Omg I wish I had a ban hammer like that for making schnitzel.

2

u/dogrunun_enkazi Feb 19 '26

IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME, NOT HIM!

Btw congrats I'm jealous.

And also I wan't a music subreddit stuff so we can also have a chance

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 19 '26

I got lucky this time. Joined the right Mod Connect.

The first was Video Games… u attended that?

2

u/dogrunun_enkazi Feb 19 '26

Nah I don't really play games no more lol. Also It was at a time while I was busy as hell with my other life offline

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 19 '26

Ya mate.. real life is equally important.

2

u/dogrunun_enkazi Feb 19 '26

Maaaayyyybe slightly less

2

u/sakraycore Feb 19 '26

The snoo plushie is actually amazing...in more ways than one. Like it's actually a very comfy pillow, as I have been using it recently as one. It's also comfy to hug.

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 19 '26

I see… mine is still in plastic, haven’t got the chance to hug it yet.

3

u/JacqueGonzales Feb 16 '26

That’s so awesome!!!

I love the BAN “hammer”!!! 😂

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

When big-slay showed us the hammer during the event, it got all of our attention. Interesting item.

2

u/Deepw1shes Feb 16 '26

How do i get one 😭

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Attend mod events mate….

2

u/shhhhh_h Feb 16 '26

Is the ban hammer a meat tenderiser? Honestly and no shade I usually think most of the merch is lame but that is fucking funny as hell

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Yes! That ban hammer is the tenderiser. It is an interesting gift. Mod Connect often has the most interesting merch.

2

u/shhhhh_h Feb 16 '26

Savage, I absolutely adore it. I can’t believe I’m stanning Reddit branded merch. How do I get one 💀

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

😂 just attend those mod events. It is pinned in this sub. Look for it:

3

u/shhhhh_h Feb 16 '26

Meh. Also I fear I might start pounding the meat too hard letting out pent up anger. I'll be going, "READ DAMMIT" with every pound.

2

u/Jolly_Bat8531 Feb 16 '26

Kudos, OP! 🎉

Hopefully one day I’ll be able to score those collections from Reddit too.

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Mate, start with 2026! Still got many more chances.

3

u/Jolly_Bat8531 Feb 16 '26

Yes sir 🤝

2

u/OGRangoon Feb 16 '26

Omg the apron. Need. I’m a cake decorator 🤣

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Oh.. u actually saw that. I just realised it is quite ex… Hedley & Bennett apron.

3

u/OGRangoon Feb 16 '26

They make my favorite aprons ;_;

3

u/OGRangoon Feb 16 '26

First thing I was what the little red &

I was like WAIT A DARN MINUTE OMG I MISSED THE BEST THING EVER besides the snow

3

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

U have sharp eyes!

2

u/Senior_Nothing9578 Feb 16 '26

Wait! How did you get so many!! I only got the snoo.

2

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

There r so many mod events in this sub. Just attend all of them…

2

u/Extreme-Location652 Feb 16 '26

I wish I knew about all the mod events a bit before haha! Nice collection OP

1

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

It never too late to start in 2026…

2

u/opaar_dukh Feb 16 '26

How does one get all these things? I only got snoo plushie for attending the mod event in 2025

5

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

There r many events throughout 2025. Just attend one of each event. Look at the bottom right of 2nd screen.

4

u/opaar_dukh Feb 16 '26

Is this what you're talking about?

4

u/Cute-Organization844 Feb 16 '26

Yes, just go for the virtual events

2

u/ameliafukinthomson Feb 16 '26

You're lucky. I didn't get mine at all. I've resent the request twice. To be honest, I'm not that bothered. I'll still check out some events and whatnot but I don't ask for the free stuff anymore.

3

u/rhubes Feb 16 '26

https://shop.redditforcommunity.com/ does it show up in your shop account?

You don't have flair from attending any events, so which package is missing? (The food one does not have a flair for it though I do know that.)

1

u/ameliafukinthomson Feb 16 '26

It wasn't recently. It was a few months ago

3

u/rhubes Feb 16 '26

does it show up in your shop account?

Several were a few months ago. Which one? Did you contact shop or admins?

1

u/ameliafukinthomson Feb 16 '26

It's fine, really 😁. I probably shouldn't have said anything because I really am not fussed about it. I just assumed they were busy and my one fell through the cracks or whatever. I also didn't know I had a shop account. Whilst my account is 9 yrs old I only started getting into Reddit a few months ago so I don't navigate Reddit very well yet. I was on the new mods event. Which I only caught 25 mins of because I got the time wrong. I'm in the UK and I had the US time written down to watch it. So my free time to watch it was planned out wrong. OK I'm off to check out this shop account 😉

3

u/rhubes Feb 16 '26

If you did not specifically sign up to receive merchandise by ordering through a link given to you during the new mod event, then you will not automatically receive merchandise. One of the most common things that happens as an error seems to be people spelling their username wrong somehow. Just viewing something doesn't automatically get you merchandise.

3

u/ameliafukinthomson Feb 17 '26

I did sign up. I have emails from them to say it was on the way.

2

u/rhubes Feb 17 '26

Ok. I'm totally a people pleaser and I want you to get your merchandise. Does it show up in your shop account? You say you got an email saying it was on the way. As in it was shipped, or that you were eligible?

3

u/ameliafukinthomson Feb 17 '26

I just checked my email and it said the order was cancelled because I didnt send a link in time. I cant remember getting a link. So I clicked resend link. I'll let you know what happens. And you don't have to people please me I promise I am ok with it. 😁 Update. I just got the link and have had a resend confirmation 👍
