## Enable user notifications

You can enable user notifications. This will notify the player that he has warnings. To do so change this part of the warnings-module inside the config file:

```yaml
  # Enables the ability to notify a user when he has warnings
  # User will be notified the moment he comes online.
  user-notifications:
      enabled: true
      # Enable this to show the message every time the user comes online.
      # If Disabled the warnings will be marked as "read" and he will only be notified of new warnings
      always-notify: false
```

Whenever a user opens his warning GUI all his warnings are marked as 'read'. If `always-notify` is disabled, a user will only be notified if he has unread warnings. Keep in mind that to open the warnings GUI the player has to have the following permission: `staff.warn.view-my-warnings`
