New rules regarding political posts - Read This

206 Upvotes

While the rules are being updated, let me give everyone a sneak peek, it will be very simple:

*No NON 80s era political posts or commentary will be allowed, and those who do so are subject to ban.

This is a non-partisan rule.

If you can’t enjoy an 80s nostalgia sub without needing to express your opinion about current politics, then this is NOT the right sub for you.

Anything political from the 80s is fine. Use your best judgment. Songs from the 80s with political themes are fine, etc. (Mods discretion)

This begins as of now.

*If you feel you were banned in error, send a modmail and we will help.

Be excellent to each other!

The only character I would add to this is Snuffleupagus but one could argue that only Big Bird saw him during this period.

Happened to watch a rerun and was thinking she does NOT look very old. I feel like I’ve found a glitch in the Matrix. Apologies if this is something oft discussed and I’m the one who had no clue.

I made this on photoshop. Well, technically Pixlr. If there's anyone I'm missing, please let me know, because this one is getting quite crowded.

What was inside your lunch box that you always looked forward to as a kid and would never trade with anyone. My mom would always try to have a butterscotch pudding inside my metal Star Wars lunch box. Loved it so much.
