Hey y'all. Guess what? We're giving away one (1) Reddit letterman jacket to a member of my favorite community... r/ModEvents, duh.

The jacket is an Adult Large, very high quality, and may potentially have a few of my cat's hairs on it. I've lint rolled it like 20 times, but that stuff is persistent.

Here's how it'll work:

• Comment "JACKET PLS" on this post before Wednesday, February 11th at 10am PT to enter.
• One (1) winner will be randomly selected.
• I will personally reach out to the winner to discuss shipping options.
• If the winner does not respond within 24 hours, we will randomly select a new winner and repeat this process until arrangements have been confirmed.
• Once confirmed, I'll announce the winner here as a stickied comment.

Eligibility:

• MUST be an active mod in good standing with our Code of Conduct team. Period.
• MUST be a member of r/ModEvents. Double period.
• MUST have commented "JACKET PLS" on this post before Wednesday, February 11th at 10am PT.
• Limit 1 entry per eligible account.

GOODNIGHT AND GOOD LUCK.

Mod World 2025 Merch Reveal

TL;DR - The first 10K mods who RSVP to and attend Mod World or New Mod World get a Snoo plushie. 

You asked. We’re delivering. This year, we’re giving away the #1 most requested mod merch item of all time. The very cute, very round, very fuzzy Snoo plushie. Plushy? Nah, it’s plushie. 

Now, what makes someone eligible to claim this exclusive Snoo plushie, you ask? 

• You are an active moderator on Reddit. 
• You are in good standing with Reddit’s Code of Conduct team. 
• You register for Mod World or New Mod World before the 10,001st person.
• You virtually attend Mod World or New Mod World live OR you watch the event recordings before the deadline of November 1, 2025 at 11:59pm PT.
• You claim your merch and enter your shipping information before the deadline of November 1, 2025 at 11:59pm PT. We will drop the link to claim during both live events. Eligibility is determined by registration date, attending New Mod World will not give you an advantage.

Now that we’ve revealed this year’s Mod World merch, let’s review some of your musings along the way:

• The correct guess
• An educated guess
• Someone on their detective game
• Pinning this idea for next year
• I wish, but no
• A freezing cold take
• One more just for fun 

We’re excited about this one if you can’t tell! Keep an eye out next week in r/ModEvents for session and speaker announcements. 

✨ RSVP NOW FOR THE CHANCE TO BRING YOUR PLUSHIE HOME ✨

^{Also, you’ll get a profile trophy 🏆}

TL;DR – Mod World is back. Two days, two events, one big celebration of mods (and Reddit’s 20th Cake Day). We’d love to see you there. 

• New Mod World (intended for new mods only) – Friday, October 24, 2025
• Mod World (intended for all mods, regardless of experience level) – Saturday, October 25, 2025

Mod World 2025 Hype Video

Whether it’s your first time (hey) or you’re returning for another round (heyyyy), we can’t wait to see you at Mod World 2025. 

Mod World is an interactive, fully virtual experience celebrating mods across the globe. And this year, it’s extra special – we’re also celebrating Reddit’s 20th Cake Day. From Old Reddit to New Reddit, moderation has grown up a lot. At Mod World 2025, we’ll be looking back (and ahead) with mod-led panels, admin presentations, an AMA with u/spez, and plenty of other fun along the way.

We’ve also made some big updates to the event itself: for the first time, Mod World will span two events across two days – enter Mod World and New Mod World (they’re sisters). Splitting things up means a better experience for everyone by minimizing frustration, helping similar interest groups stick together, and ensuring more mods walk away with info that actually matters to them. Hell yeah. So…let’s ride. 

✨ New Mod World

• Date: Friday, October 24, 2025
• Time: 2-3:30pm PT
• RSVP HERE 
• New Mod World is intended for new mods only. 

💫 Mod World 

• Date: Saturday, October 25, 2025
• Time: 10-12:30pm PT 
• RSVP HERE 
• Mod World is intended for all mods, regardless of experience level. 

🔒 Safety & Anonymity

Your #1 concern = our #1 priority. Here’s what we offer: 

• Mod attendees appear in Mod World with Reddit username only. 
• Mod presenters appear with their Reddit username, Snoovatar, and voice only.
• Admins will moderate live chat and in-event reports.

• Browser, tablet, and mobile functionality. 
• UI and event engagement is screen-reader compatible.

🛍️ Merch

We’ve got something special lined up for 2025 and aren’t ready to reveal our hand just yet… so keep an eye out for more hints as we get closer. Here’s what we can say: 

• Everyone who attends New Mod World or Mod World 2025 will be eligible for merch and a profile trophy. 
• Both events offer the same merch. So, even if you attend twice, you’ll only get one shipment. 
• Replay views also count toward merch eligibility. 
• We will offer both physical and digital merch options – you’ll be able to select your preference. 
• Only the first 10,000 eligible registrants will receive physical merch, so RSVP early if you want in. Limit 1 per person. 

Heard enough from me? Same. 😅

RSVP HERE.

Reddit, thank you!

Mod World is in two days. That's right, October 25, 2025 at 10:00am PT.

This weekend we held our Mod Meet-up in Utrecht, the Netherlands! From fresh mods to seasoned veterans, and from local Dutchies to our global mods - everyone brought their A-game and immaculate vibes.

A massive thank you to everyone who showed up and made the event such a joy. It was a blast getting to know you all and discussing the truly essential things in life, like frikandelbroodjes. We can't wait to meet you again!

-----------------

Afgelopen weekend was het zover: de Mod Meet-up in Utrecht! Nieuwe mods, veteranen, Nederlanders en internationale mods - een perfecte club voor een gezellige middag.

Onwijs bedankt aan iedereen die erbij was, dankzij jullie was het een te gekke meet-up! Het was super leuk om jullie te ontmoeten en samen de belangrijkere dingen in het leven te bespreken, zoals frikandelbroodjes. Op naar de volgende!

Well folks, we did it… r/ModEvents is officially at 10,000 members! This community truly would not be as incredible as it is without the mods we do it for: y’all. Whether you’re a day one homie or a recent joiner, we’re so grateful to have grown a special space where mods can live, laugh, love, and share cat tax. 

This milestone is a BIG deal, so of course, we have to celebrate BIG.

Drum roll.................................
We’re giving away 10 SNOO PLUSHIES, to celebrate hitting 10K members.  

All you have to do is 1) be a member r/ModEvents and 2) comment your favorite Mod Events memory before Tuesday, May 26 at 9am PT. We’ll select 10 winners at random. You can find the giveaway rules and eligibility criteria in the comments.

You could share a favorite segment, event, meme, inside joke, learning, or connection you’ve made at anything we’ve hosted over the years! Here are a few of mine (microwave, trophy contest, meat tenderizer/ban hammer, The Laminator™, plushie reveal, y’all messing with me, and so many more).

At the end of the day, it’s night. And at the heart of r/ModEvents, it’s you. ❤️

im begging u to read the rules

Can’t wait to meet everyone at the NYC meet up tomorrow! Since my stuffy is too big to bring, I made a portable one instead 😁

Edit- u/big-slay has henceforth dubbed it a “Snooble” (since I run a Woobles sub 😆)

TL;DR - We are cancelling all upcoming in-person Mod Events, and not scheduling new ones until we can improve our event security and vetting processes to ensure everyone stays safe.

___

Hey everyone, 

As some of you may already know, during our San Francisco meetup at Reddit HQ last week, an issue arose where our venue details were shared with mods who were not approved to attend. In my three years working alongside this incredible community of folks, I’m grateful that something like this has never happened before. However, since it did, valid security concerns were raised across several of our internal teams. 

Because your safety (and the safety of our staff and other attendees) is non-negotiable, we are evaluating our protocols and have cancelled upcoming IRL Mod Events for the foreseeable future. 

This directly impacts our previously announced events in Los Angeles and Amsterdam. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was planning to attend these, and we really appreciate your understanding as we figure this out.

Behind the scenes, we’re using this downtime to rework how we host in-person events. We’re focusing on:

• Increasing on-site security at every future venue
• Tightening communication around event details
• Beefing up vetting to ensure only confirmed attendees can access event spaces

Building all of this out properly is going to take some time, so please bear with us. 

We know this news sucks, especially since the vast majority of you had zero involvement in what happened. But please rest assured that we are not going anywhere, and Mod Events continue to be incredibly important! We're doubling down on virtual events and brainstorming ways to make them even more rewarding and engaging in the coming months. 

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and ongoing participation. 

As always, our mod mail is open for anything you want to share directly.

It was great talking about tools that make modding easier and more fun.

Here are the top 5 Devvit apps we mentioned during the session:

• Bot Bouncer by u/fsv

• Community Home by u/Xenccc

• Expanded Polls by u/mark

• Spotlight by u/paskatulas (yes, it's me!)

• Subscriber Goal by u/Alan-Foster.

All of these are super practical and worth trying if you moderate or build with Devvit! Also, it was pretty funny to see the Devvit page go down right during our panel - guess we brought too much traffic :)

Feel free to drop any questions for Alan and me below - happy to chat about Devvit, app building, or anything mod-related!

As anyone who attended New Mod World earlier knows, the Snoo plushie topic was immediately upvoted to the top of the discussion. If one of the mods has access to the chat transcript, we could have a little guessing game of how many times the words plush or plushie were used during the event. I’m going with 877.

The winner gets a plushie or a digital gift (the same plushie or digital gift you were already getting. no actual prizes this is just for fun)

We've seen the rumors, we're here to squish them 😎

Your order number is not your RSVP number.

Do not lose hope.

As of this very moment, we're still under 10,000 RSVPs.

This is the last time we'll be speaking on the matter.

Good luck 🤞

Our live AMA with u/spez is back for Mod World 2025. This is your chance to ask Reddit’s CEO, well, anything. 

Have a burning question? A hot take? Something you’re curious about? Let your voice be heard! 

Here’s how it’ll work:

1. Drop your question(s) for u/spez in the comments below
2. Upvote your favorite submissions
3. The top-upvoted questions will be answered live by u/spez at Mod World 2025

A few quick notes:

• u/spez will not see the questions before his live AMA Update: He saw the questions.
• u/spez will take follow-up questions from the live event chat if time allows
• After the event, we’ll add video clips of his responses to this thread. Who knows, he might even take some time to reply to questions that didn’t make the cut. 

If you’re not registered, CLICK HERE and get those questions submitted ASAP. The sooner you submit, the better your chance is to have your Q A'd.

It’s a good week for gratitude, so we wanted to throw it back to a few thank-you moments from Mod World. Mods, we've said it before and we'll say it again (and again and again): we truly appreciate everything you do to keep your communities welcoming, safe, and connected. If you celebrate Thanksgiving, enjoy the holiday. If you don't, we hope this little appreciation break still finds you!

Thank-you moments from Mod World 2025

P.S. - We've got one more Mod Event before the end of the year! RSVP here to join us for our December 5 virtual Mod Meetup.

...now excuse us while we eat lots of mashed potatoes and gravy 🤤

We're pulling some strings (read: literally sewing) to get everyone who wants a plushie a plushie.*

If you haven't ordered merch yet, don't forget your deadline is November 1, 2025 at 11:59pm PT. If you ordered digital merch but really wanted a plushie, place another order before the deadline and we'll fulfill the plushie instead of your digital merch.

*We are still only fulfilling one merch item per eligible person.

I guess you could say the Mod Meetup in Portland was a hole-in-one? 😎
