KrankinSox Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 What is considered not acceptable content for SLaM? The forum description says: "Tired of talking baseball? Not in the mood to hear about the Bears losing another game? Then come in here to talk about whatever the heck you want. From politics to carpet samples, this is the place for your non-sporting needs. But be sure to bring your thick skin." Is politics taboo? I created a thread about the 2022 midterms. All conversation in the thread was friendly and on-topic. Why did this thread get locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 That probably should be edited, tbh. Politics/filibuster went away since it became so toxic. Should be made clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other forums outside of Soxtalk for political talk, you can find them I'm sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusing. It used to be SLaP (Sex, Lies, and Politics) back in the day, but was changed when "The Filibuster" opened up. This is mainly a baseball forum, I'm fine with having politics as little as possible here. Everyone has their own opinions and views, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already seen Roe fall in and out of the news cycle over the last month or so. Soon there will be something else for everyone else to yell at eachother about. Anyway, I'll respect the board rules and leave it at that. Go sox. Whoever has the capabilities can feel free to lock this thread...not that you needed my permission anyway.
