YAWBDB's notification bell collects important updates in one place.
It is designed to show what needs your attention without forcing you to check every page manually.
🔔 Notification bell
The bell appears in the top navigation bar.
It can show grouped sections such as:
- Announcements
- Unread messages
- Friend requests
- Moderation alerts
- Reports
- Tickets
- Appeals
- Support items
The exact sections depend on your account, roles, and enabled features.
📢 Announcements
Platform announcements can appear in the bell with an unread indicator.
Click an announcement to open the full post.
🔴 Unread messages
Unread chat conversations can appear in the bell with a preview and unread count.
Clicking the item opens the conversation.
🛡️ Moderation notifications
Moderation-related bell items are role-aware.
Depending on your access, you may see:
- Your appeal updates
- Pending appeals on servers you moderate
- Pending reports
- Open tickets
- Active sanctions
- Sanctions expiring soon
🔊 Sounds
YAWBDB can play distinct sounds for certain real-time notifications.
Sounds only play after you have interacted with the page, because browsers block autoplay before interaction.
📧 Email notifications
YAWBDB can also send email notifications based on your preferences.
Examples:
- Account suspensions or reinstatements
- Support ticket replies
- New chat messages
- Platform announcements
- Appeal updates
- New reports for moderators
- New tickets for support staff
- Friend requests
📧 Email preferences
Open your profile and go to Email Notifications to choose which emails you want.
Some preferences only appear if they are relevant to your account or roles.
💡 Best practices
- Keep important staff notifications enabled.
- Disable noisy notifications you do not need.
- Use the bell for quick triage.
- Check email preferences after joining a new team or taking a staff role.
