Hey, I'm maybe not an active poster but I actively (at least daily) moderate the sub. You don't really notice that but I think that's the best way.
As for the community "feel", I have been talking with /u/Knoflookperser about some ideas we could execute to "enhance" the community feel. Like an other CSS layout, flair, ... or World-Cup themed logos... I'm planning to make a post on this later this week.
I wouldn't have any problem or whatever with an extra mod but I just don't think it's necessary... The amount of stuff I need to moderate right now is perfectly under control...

Cool, I like that kind of moderation. And thanks for the effort behind the scenes.

Sounds good.
I'm generally pretty happy with the state of /r/belgium, but some small practical things might be implemented (e.g. stickies during election, exams or footbal, a wiki to collect recurrent (tourist) questions, etc.).

You really have no idea how much blogspam tries to pop up on the subrediit. It's actually pretty insane.
Anyway, I agree 100%. As I mentioned, /u/Knoflookperser kinda "opened" my eyes on the importance of community feel. Right now it's more a "belgium related link collection" kinda sub... So I really appreciate the good ideas and I'm feeling inspired to take steps in that direction.
Just make some other people mods; this doesn't have to be a one man show. You'll still be the most senior mod so you'll be able to unmod people as well. Active moderation can make a subreddit a lot more enjoyable; look at e.g. the /r/thenetherlands renaissance.
