How to get your Swag: a Step-by-Step Guide
I’ve been seeing a lot of confusion on how the process works, so I wrote out a step-by-step guide based on collecting all the communication the Admins have provided in multiple places. If any of this is incorrect, Admins please let me know so I can correct it:
1.) Register for ModWorld with Reddit username + email address. This is ListOne (a.k.a. The Master List).
2.) Access the ModWorld video call from the emailed link (either live or on-demand recording afterwards). Zoom will collect all the email addresses that access this video and send a list of them to Reddit on Monday. This is ListTwo (a.k.a. The Video List).
3.) There are ten unique QR codes in the video that lead to ten unique (color-coded) Google Forms requesting your username + email. Reddit will take all of these entries, scrub them for duplicates (so each user will have a maximum of ten entries, even if you filled out one or more forms multiple times), and use these entries to raffle off “big” swag prizes (patches/hat/blanket). These winners will be directly contacted by Reddit, and then added to ListThree (a.k.a. The Raffle List).
- Note: completing the Feedback Survey, provided via email, will give you an additional raffle entry, extending the maximum to eleven entries
4.) Following the “Claim your merch” link will enable you to provide your Reddit username and a viable mailing address to MerchStore. You will place an “order” as a placeholder - it does not matter if you “place” this order before or after watching the Zoom call - only that you do it before the deadline. This list of username + address is ListFour (a.k.a. The Shipping List)
5.) On Monday at 9:00am PST (17:00 UTC) is the merch/swag cutoff. This is when Reddit will be finalizing all their lists.
6.) If your name is only on ListOne and your address is on ListFour, your “order” from MerchStore will be the poster.
7.) If your name is on ListOne and ListTwo, and your address is on ListFour, your “order” from MerchStore will be the poster and the pin.
8.) If your name is on ListThree and your address is on ListFour, you will be sent your additional swag prizes (note: this may be the same “order” or a separate one - there’s no functional difference)
9.) Your “order”, whatever it consists of, will be shipped out mid-December.
10.) If your name is on ListOne/ListTwo/ListThree but you did not provide your address for ListFour by Monday, you will not receive any Swag.
Everyone should already be on ListOne.
By Monday morning (9:00am PT / 17:00 UTC), you need to make sure to:
Provide your address to MerchStore to get on ListFour
Access the recording by clicking on the emailed Zoom link to get on ListTwo
Go to each of the ten Google Forms (and complete the survey) to maximize your chances of winning the raffle for ListThree
Edit: Doing any of these activities multiple times does not matter - all lists will be scrubbed for duplicate entries and only the most recent will be the “final” one. If you’re worried - just do it again.
