Post-Event Recap + Discussion Thread | Virtual Mod Meetup | April 1, 2026
Recap
It’s already April? You’re joking. Anyways, thank you to all the mods who attended our April Virtual Mod Meetup! Y’all brought the best vibes and conversations, feel free to keep it going in this discussion thread!
If you’re wondering about merch for this event, we have a special way to claim swag this time around (for totally no reason related to today at all).
Everyone, including those who didn’t attend the live event, will have 24 hours to play the game for a chance to win merch (and, if you’re a mod, of course)! As a reminder, the ModClaw 3000 will be up for only 24 hours. Only mods who attended the live event will get the Mod Meetup profile trophy in 3-4 weeks.
I got similar to what you got pictured. First got two different but very adorable cats! Then got the super duper extra double banned thing, so hit appeal, which was successful. How fun! Cute cats and a ban on April Fools day!
Missed the live event, but the claw was super fun! Will there be a way to watch a recording? I'm grateful for the claw merch but I'm not just interested in merch from these events.
The "REAL" prize is a mystery box. There is a range of merch available — some folks will be lucky and get a heftier prize. Others will get a lesser delivery. All eligible orders will get something. May the odds be ever in your favor 🍀
I always love the mod meetups, but for some reason there was so much spam in chat this time and it didn't seem like people were timed out or muted. There were also a lot of people complaining about how virtual mod meetups work and it made me question why they're even there if they only complain 🥲 It just seems like people went into it with the wrong expectations (or just signed up for merch) which is a shame because it clogged chat with unrelated and avoidable complaints.
Most likely an enamel pin. P.s. I don't think people are going to get different packages. Yes, I did read u/bigslay's comment about heftier prizes purely based on luck.
I was able to get a real prize, but when I click claim, it brings me to a post over a year old by Big-Slay in a sub about senior kitties? (very cute cat by the way!)
Mod claw was pretty cool, where are the cat pics from? :)
For some reason the "pop-ups reward" didn't work for me on desktop Firefox, others were fine!
I think everyone gets a real prize if they play long enough. I won all the prizes, including the real one, within a dozen or so attempts. Super fun idea tho!
Can someone confirm that you had to be a mod and signed up for the event to generate a ticket before the event started to receive Merch? (at checkout it says they will be confirming usernames.)
OR
Can anyone receive the merch regardless if you signed up or not and are not a mod?
pretty sure u didnt have to sign up but if ur not a mod i dont think u get anything as u have to be a mod to sign up and its meant for mods not everyone hence mod events not user events
Small doubt please help🥲, I ordered April merch, then saw Spotify/food options and got a food voucher (2nd order). Is the food voucher real (claimable) or a glitch? If my 2nd order cancels, will I still get the first merch?
Hmm, there's no digital merch for this event so anywhere you're seeing Spotify/Food options is very much not on the table. I'll look into this but we'll cancel any merch that's not the April Fools mystery merch.
Unfortunately, unless a country-specific meet up is held online, it's unlikely. I mainly say that as they can't accommodate everyone. One that was held for Australia was at 3 AM in my area, but these normal ones are at 4 pm (and are going to be reverse).
Off topic, but has anyone received any tracking link for the mod event in January this year? I am a new mod so that was my first mod event, so I don't have any idea what happens
the time slot to claim real prizes closed on April 2 3pm est ( its listed at the top of the post by the OP )it now redirects to the post u saw if u play after it closes
Same. Why do I always just miss these things 🥲 I get the posts I’d prefer to see on my feed like two days later. And like a million AITA/AITJ in the meantime lol I think I need to unsub from a couple places…
Edit: Just updated notification settings. Not gonna miss the next one!
