We've had several issues recently with posters failing to use appropriate courtesy. I've sent more "gentle reminders" in the last two weeks than in the previous six months.

While I've tried to moderate with a light touch, it doesn't seem to be working. If I wouldn't want my young daughters to see the language, or if it gives the appearance of a personal attack, I'm going to be taking action.

Also we've had a tremendous upswing in inappropriate political commentary around firearms. Firearms threads are welcome if they are entirely apolitical. Do not even mention the politics around firearms in any thread on Around The Campfire. Henceforward anything that so much as smells like political commentary about guns will result in threads being locked, posts being edited or deleted, and harsher actions if warranted.

If any part of this is unclear, let me know.
