This week we delve into the essential yet challenging topic of conflict resolution, community moderation, and setting robust community guidelines. The episode stresses the importance of a comprehensive moderation plan to maintain the community's tone, using both human moderators and technological tools like Circle's features for effective moderation beyond just conflict resolution.

We chat about establishment of community roles from coordinators to managers, highlighting how different levels within the community contribute to a positive environment. We offer practical advice on crafting community guidelines, implementing a moderation playbook that evolves over time, and utilizing software tools for preventive moderation.

We emphasizes the values of active listening, clear communication, and setting boundaries in conflict resolution, alongside the significance of creating a positive culture that mirrors acceptable behavior.
