Description
Various Notifications

[CENSORED BY MOTHER] 👀
🎯 Mod Goal
The goal is to provide a notification system that is fun, useful, and 100% customizable, so you can adapt it to your server and your playstyle.
Mother judges, Mother warns, Mother comments...
and Mother was right from the start 😄
(You can rename Mother, of course.)
