Server Notifications Settings

With this option, you will be able to select the types of notifications that you want to mute. All Messages are there to serve you with the notifications of all the messages on your server. On the contrary, if you settle for @mentions, it will only send you notifications if you are mentioned somewhere. If you do not pick up anyone, all the notifications will be blocked.

Suppress @everyone and @here

When somebody uses @everyone, the notification is usually sent server’s every member. On the other hand, when someone uses the @here command, it notifies the server’s every member that is online at that moment. If you want to mute such notifications, this option is bliss. With this command, you can easily mute the notifications that include @everyone or the ones that contain @here.

Suppress All Role @mentions

When somebody mentions @admin, @mod, or any other such role, it sends notifications to all the Admins or Moderators or whoever is mentioned. If you plan to mute such notifications, you can settle for this option.
