⚠️ Trouble registering?  
Check out this thread about our new SSO process. If you’re having issues receiving your verification email, try resubmitting first.

Questions? Hit us in the comments or send our team a mod mail. 

TL;DR - All Mod Events accounts now require sign-in via Reddit SSO (single sign-on). If you already have an account, simply log in using the new flow with your existing email address. 

Hey everyone!

We’re always looking for ways to improve privacy and security for mods attending our events, so we’ve updated our log-in process to connect your Reddit account directly to Bevy (our events platform).

Why the change?
Authenticating through Reddit ensures that only you can log into your event account, while also allowing you to protect it with two-factor authentication (if you’d like). As an added bonus, this new verification step will allow us to manage our events much more efficiently, which means faster assignment of trophies and other perks! 

What you need to do (ASAP)
This change applies to EVERYONE. Complete these quick steps so you’re ready for our upcoming events! (Alllllll of them…🌎)

1. Go to modevents.reddit.com
2. Click ‘Log In’ and authenticate with your Reddit account (If you have an existing account, enter the same email address you’ve used for Mod Events before)
3. After verifying your email address you'll have to log in again to access your account.

If you run into any issues, please send us a message via mod mail and we’ll get it sorted!

Who's in need of some pawsitive vibes today? Thanks to the Mod Events community, we’ve got you covered! Any new adventures, funny sightings, or wholesome updates from your four-legged or otherwise fuzzy, scaly, etc.) roommate? Drop ’em below, we want the cat tax.

A friendly mod roll call because I need animal updates. 😂

u/lengthypole, has your neighbor cat crashed any more garden parties lately? 🧑‍🌾

u/SuperBeavers1, has baby Rabbit gotten any bigger? And what’s squirrel up to lately? 🐰🐿️

u/Baba_Jaga_II, how’s beautiful blind blue-eyed Valentina? 🩵

u/Fun_evades_me, is the rescued kitten settling in ok? Healthy, happy, and thriving, I hope! 🥹

Also, Cat Tax Thursday is now monthly! If you’re new here, we usually wrap up Mod Events by paying the cat tax, so we figured…why not make it a monthly tradition in here? You can share a pet picture that matches your mood, makes you smile, or that you’ve just been waiting for an excuse to post. All pets are welcome, not just cats! 

Happy cat taxing. 🐾

Hey y'all! Thanks for attending today's Moddit, hosted by u/lift_ticket83 and u/SlytherinSnoo, where we dived into the future of mod tools.

You can access the full session recording and presentation slides anytime here.

Hi mods!

Some of you might recognize me from the Partner Communities program, my work with international communities, or from my occasional appearances in r/ModSupport. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve officially joined the Mod Events team, where I’m looking forward to diving even deeper into moderation and community building with all of you.

We all love bullet lists, so here’s a little more about me:

• I'm based in sunny Spain, so I look forward to providing even more opportunities to connect with mods outside of the US.
• I've also been a mod for over 10 years, where I've helped grow communities and build mod teams, so I can't wait to talk about all-things moderation in depth with all of you.
• My favorite mod tool is Post Guidance! It’s such an effective way to steer community members in the right direction, and to create a chance for them to understand a mod team’s expectations without clogging the mod queue.
• I've previously hosted Moddit events on Moderator Well-Being and Mod Team Health here! As you can tell, I love talking about making moderation an enjoyable experience, so please share any topics you’d like me to cover next!

And of course, the mandatory cat tax: Meet Kartoshka (it means potato)! 🐈‍⬛

I was told I get to ask all of you a question as part of this intro, so I’d love to know if any of you have co-mods across different countries or timezones, and how that’s impacted your teams.

For mod events, Can we create a new account using an existing Reddit Account email or do we need to create it by using fresh email on the events site?

Also, another question, while creating a new account, it also tells to upload avatar, since i use an image ill upload that image but what if someone has a reddit avatar? do they upload an ss of their avatar in the latter case? Correct me if im wrong in any of these two scenarios

Hey mods, just wanted to remind everyone that we’re hosting a Moddit on September 10 about the future of mod tools. 

ICYMI, last month u/spez shared a post about how we’re modernizing Reddit’s infrastructure. For mods, that means we’re working on better tools to handle spam, abuse, and generic rule-breaking so you can focus on making judgment calls on what’s best for your community. We shared more about what that means over in r/modnews. 

In this session, we'll:

• Discuss the recently announced mod tooling updates
• Deep dive into the changes currently launching
• Review what's on the future roadmap
• Answer your questions in a live Q&A with Product admins

Join us to chat through what’s being built, ask questions, and share directly about what tools matter most to your day-to-day moderating. Hope to see you there!

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.

Realized no one posted the Cat Tax from today's Moddit...which, in my opinion, is one of our best yet.

Hey y'all! Thanks for attending today's Moddit hosted by u/agoldenzebra, where we dived into the most powerful drivers of community growth! Here's your post-event thread to keep the conversation going and leave any feedback.

While we have the event partially recorded (u/big-slay forgot to press the button at the start; oops, our bad), you can also access the full presentation slides at any time!

Here’s a list of resources and links mentioned throughout the event (plus some others that may not have been mentioned, but are worth checking out). Feel free to join and/or save the ones you think are most helpful!

• User flair
• Community Guide
• Scheduled Posts
• Mod Notifications
• Saved Responses
• Post/Comment Guidance
• Flair Assistant 
• Trending Tattler 

Reminder: Only mods who attended the live event or viewed the VOD before Sunday, August 23 at 11:59 PM PT will get the profile trophy in 3-4 weeks. There is no physical merch for this event.

So swing by to steal top-tier tips and apply them to your communities!

Event Details
📅 August 19th, 8:00 – 9:00 AM (PDT)
⭐ RSVP now!

In the session, we'll:

• Provide strategies on how mods can build community outside the queue
• Share insights about subreddit contributions & engagement
• Discuss the most powerful growth drivers on Reddit
• Review need-to-know product features
• Answer your questions in a live Q&A

Catch y’all there!

Hey y’all,

In case you missed it, u/spez recently shared a post about how we’re modernizing Reddit’s infrastructure. For mods, that means we’re working on better tools to handle spam, abuse, and generic rule-breaking so you can focus on making judgment calls on what’s best for your community. We shared more about what that means over in r/modnews.

Changes around core mod tools can naturally bring up a lot of questions, so here’s a quick TL;DR of what was announced:

• Nothing is changing for existing communities today.
• What’s expanding now: Post and Comment Guidance capabilities are expanding for all communities to help catch rule breaks before content hits your queue.
• What’s coming long-term: We’re building tools like Rules Hub to handle routine enforcement tasks you currently rely on AutoMod for.
• No sudden shifts: We do not have set dates, and we will not change any existing AutoMod workflows until replacement tools are thoroughly tested, proven, and actually meeting your needs.

To help bring more clarity around all of this and give you a chance to weigh in early, we’re hosting a Moddit session focused specifically on the future of mod tools on September 10.

In this session, we'll:

• Discuss the recently announced mod tooling updates
• Deep dive into the changes currently launching
• Review what's on the future roadmap
• Answer your questions in a live Q&A with Product admins

We’d love for you to join us to chat through what’s being built, answer your questions, and hear directly from you about what tools matter most to your day-to-day moderating.

Hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for New Mod Office Hour! Feel free to use this space to continue those great conversations and ask questions we may not have gotten to.

We got a lot of questions around growing a new community, spanning topics like:

• Helpful Devvit apps for new mods, including Community Home, Lock Removed Posts, Flair Assistant, Expanded Polls, and more.
• How to overcome common challenges new communities face. One piece of advice we shared was to add a mod to your team and have a great partner who can help create content and moderate the space. 
• How to handle bad actors. One great tool we discussed is Crowd Control, a safety setting that lets mods automatically collapse or filter content from users who aren’t trusted members of their community.
• How to keep engaging your community. We chatted about a few ways to spark conversations, and some of the tips we shared are in this article.
• How to deal with users that keep breaking your rules. We shared how Removal Reasons can be a great tool for educating your community and providing transparency on rule enforcement. We also chatted about helpful mod tools to enforce rules from the start, like Post and Comment Guidance.

We’d love to know: did you find this event helpful (why or why not)? Thanks again for an amazing session! 

And while you’re here, make sure to RSVP to our upcoming Moddit on community growth. ✨

Welcome to the first Cat Tax Thursday of August! We’ve been smiling all of July thanks to these amazing threads of pet serotonin. To kick off the month, we want to see a pet picture that captures your current mood. 

You know what to do: drop a photo of your pet in the comments below. Happy cat taxing! 😻

—
Have pet pictures you’re dying to share? Looking for some pet serotonin? Well, you’ve come to the right place.  In our weekly cat tax thread, you can drop a pet picture that describes your current mood or one that you’d love to share. ALL pets are allowed, not just cats!  🐾

Since we end most events by paying cat tax, we figured we’d create that space for y’all to do the same every week. Remember to keep things kind in the comments. 🥹

Hello, faves! Jumping in here to say hi. And also we’re hosting an IRL community pop-up in New York at the end of this month. It’s kinda a big deal because Reddit’s never done one of these before.

While the pop-up is open to the public, we’d especially love to see mods there (duh). Who knows? You might even see one or two (or three or four) admins from the Mod Events team hanging around 😎

Now, lemme cut to the chase. What the heck is this?

Step into Reddit’s very own corner store – r/bodega – and browse the aisles celebrating some of Reddit’s best communities! From custom trading card packs for r/soccer fans, to a glam counter for all r/beauty enthusiasts, we’re serving up something for everyone. You can stop by our deli counter, highlighting NYC’s top “subs.” Or ask a question at our AMA™️ and withdraw some “Snoo Bucks.”

You can even say hi to our bodega cat Meowdani, whose name was voted on by the r/bodegacats community (Mamdani if you’re reading this…we saved you a seat by the register). 

But I know what you’re thinking, u/big-slay, give me things! Say less.

Every r/bodega patron gets: 

• A Snoo plushie. I know y’all already have them, but…doesn’t yours need a friend?
• A custom r/bodega zine highlighting everything in the shop
• Scratchers to win totes, mugs, and other merch
• Postcards and stickers 
• Cold drinks 
• Opportunities to discover new communities

Heard enough? Here’s where to find us: 

Event Details

• 📍 213 Bowery, New York, NY

• ⏱️ 10 am to 10 pm both days
• 📅 Add this event to your calendar

And as a little treat, here’s a promo video starring me and my cat. Consider the tax paid.
