# Joining The Server

Upon joining the server, you will land in the spawn world and be greeted with the following messages in your chat:

The above message is a greeting, reminding you of some commands you can use. This can be disabled/enabled via the [preferences menu](/allura/menus/preferences-menu.md) in the notifications category.

The lower message is a disclaimer about the rules of this server. This too can also be disabled/enabled via the [preferences menu](/allura/menus/preferences-menu.md) in the notifications category.
