Hi all

This serves as a monthly catch-all for all “meta” discussions, i.e. discussions about the subreddit r/belgium itself. Feel free to ask or suggest anything!

The meaning of the icons on top are:

As a reminder, the “special rules” for this thread:

– Users can, if they want to, publicly discuss their ban. However, we will not comment on bans of other users.

– Criticising moderation is, of course, allowed, and will not be perceived as a personal attack (as per rule 1), even if you single out the moderation behaviour of a single moderator. There is, of course, a line between criticising the moderation behaviour of a person and attacking the character of a person. I hope everyone understands that distinction, and doesn’t cross that line.

  1. Can we please get rid of the mapporn spammers? They don’t even check if there’s stats for Belgium in it. Or fake interest by asking why Belgium isn’t in it. Like we would know…

    Can they be limited to self posts so they have to at least provide sources and something they want to discuss about it?

    Just a map image adds nothing of value and is such a blatant karmagrab.

  3. Would the mods be open to try-out a second meme day on Wednesday? I enjoy Meme Saturday and understand you don’t want the sub flooded by memes but it would be a nice break in the workweek to have some more lighthearted/silly content here.

  5. 8k actions seems enormous. I also see the huge amount of spam/misinformation/antivax bans but still seems like a fuckton of work for a relatively small sub. This isn’t a remark or point of criticism. Just a reminder you can finetune automod more to save you some time. Because I remember doing upwards of 1/2k actions a month by myself and that felt like a lot. And that was including the easy shit like nuking entire chains or threads. There’s a lot more nuance to it in this sub.

    Top activity mods: don’t get overworked on account of this place, please. Or have some others pick up their slack 😉 I see a lot of names in a lot of threads but not a lot of mod actions…
