Wizard’s Wisdom on Conflict
When disagreements arise:
- Take a breath before responding
- Assume good intentions until proven otherwise
- Focus on understanding before being understood
- Address the issue directly with the person when possible
- Remember that how we handle conflict reflects our growth as wizards
Note: If you’ve attempted to resolve a conflict directly but haven’t reached a satisfactory resolution, please reach out to any Council member. The Council is here to support all community members and help maintain a positive environment.
Enforcement
Community moderators will respond to violations of this code as appropriate to the situation:
- For minor or first-time issues: gentle guidance toward better behavior

Moderators prioritize the community’s well-being over any individual’s desire to participate. Decisions about enforcement are final.
