Rulings
If the creature type of a Sliver changes so it's no longer a Sliver, it will no longer be affected by its own ability. Its ability will continue to affect other Sliver creatures.
2013-07-01
A player with ten or more poison counters loses the game as a state-based action, even if no permanents with poisonous are on the battlefield.
2021-03-19
If a creature has multiple instances of poisonous, each triggers separately.
2021-03-19
Poisonous 1 causes the player to get just one poison counter when a Sliver deals combat damage to them, no matter how much damage that Sliver dealt.

"They actually have venom, not poison. If they were poisonous, a single drop would—IT BURNS! IT BURNS!"
