| There are a number of roles that you can have on the server. The most basic of which is "Tooters" which will be assigned to you when you introduce yourself to prove that you are not a bot or a spy 😉. There are roles for the games that we support ("Guild Warriors", "Minecrafters", "Cocketeers" (for Rocket League), etc) which will be given out automatically as you join in with things (although you can always ask to have one if you like.) Finally there are the honorary roles that change the colour of your name and are given out to special members from time to time. | There are a number of roles that you can have on the server.

| When you first join the server, the default settings are for you to receive notifications whenever anyone posts a message in any of the text channels. You will almost definitely want to change this for the //#music-control// channel (used for controlling the music bot) and you may want to change this for other channels too.

| You can also "mute" a channel or the entire TooT server. This is different to changing the notification settings as it also prevents unread indicators and it can be done for a temporary period of time. A temporary mute is often useful if there's an active conversation going on in one channel that you're not particularly interested in or if you just don't want to be disturbed by Discord for a while. Please **do not** mute the whole server (or the #announcements channel) permanently as it then means I have no real way to notify you of upcoming events. | You can also "mute" a channel or the entire TooT server.
