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!

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. Sometimes I think we should rename the sub to

    /r/freeimmigrationlawyers
    /r/freehousinglawyers
    /r/isthisascam
    /r/ukraine
    /r/nuclearpower

    I just can’t pick which one…

  2. The week of the federal discussion on the nuclear exit (18 March), could we have a megathread on the topic? It’s gonna flood this sub with the same arguments anyhow.

  3. For real tho, can we do something about the ‘iS thIs A sCam?’posts?

    Half of the posts are just pathetic attempts at karmafarming, all of them are clearly scams and none of them have ever helped anyone who couldn’t tell scams apart tell now. So they serve no purpose.

    Can we just get a bot or something that just comments “Yes. This is a scam” and locks thread to all posts with “scam” and “?” in the title.

  4. Is there a way to just autoban any usage of the word nuclear?

    I’m so fucking sick an tired of the nuclear posts. I don’t care if it’s about nuclear power or the fact that you’re afraid that Putin is going to bomb your mom’s fine china.

    I’m so fucking done.

    Stop it!

  5. Ban all the posters who downvote posts just because they disagree with it. Reply with a counter-argument or get out.

  6. /u/Tokke has been banned from r/Belgium for a while now. He’s my personal hero and I really miss him.

    On an extremely dark and cold winter day, I decided to go to the local park to get some fresh air. I was constantly inside, working from home. The walls were creeping in on me. It seemed like a good idea. I was feeding my baby in the park. The baby was constantly crying and wouldn’t eat. To make things worse, I locked myself out of my car somehow and couldn’t get my kids favorite toy. I had a important business meeting in 10 minutes. I was really stressed and the baby kept crying. I started crying, I felt as if I had failed my child, wife and everyone else. People were staring weirdly at me and kept their distance. But from the mist a strange man appeared. He had an aura of calmness around him. Something radiated about him. He also smelled like a field of flowers. Not just any flowers but a mix of roses and lavandar. That person was /u/Tokke . The baby (I don’t use gender roles) immediately stopped crying and started smiling. Tokke reassured me everything would be fine. He took the baby from me and started breastfeeding it. I was a bit sus but the baby seemed to be fine. Tokke was able to unlock my car with skills, he said he picked up in prison. This man helped me when nobody else would. He’s my personal hero. Please unban him.

    Thanks,

  8. I feel kind of a dick for reporting threads that are about the Ukraine war but are irrelevant or clear agenda pushing.
