How to turn off the beeping sound in Discord

Accepted Answer

The very annoying "beeping" sound on Discord is a messaging sound. It can drive you crazy as it's relentless. Here's how to quickly and easily turn it off, in two steps.

The first is to limit direct messages (DM) beeping at you:

1. Click on the little gear icon in user settings (lower left of the screen) ⚙️
2. Click on Notifications on the left menu
3. Scroll down and turn "Message" off
![turn-off-message-noise-discord.png](https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/fD8Vaj8U8w/resources/4CnWOnjTVx/turn-off-message-noise-discord.png)

Next is to limit server notifications, this can be unique for each Discord server you're a member of.

For example, some Discord servers use the @everyone notification far more than others. When you receive an "@everyone" notification in a server, it will alert you like a DM alert. This can happen from various channels on the Discord server. If you're a member of multiple servers this can get a little crazy.

If this is the case, you need to edit the notifications, or mute the notifications for **each Discord server**.

To mute a specific Discord server that is overusing the "@everyone" notice, or simply edit the settings to your liking, set the following areas up for each server you are a member of:
![discord-silence-direct-messages-ttd.png](https://tradetheday.com/wp-content/uploads/discord-silence-direct-messages-ttd.png)

Right click on the Discord server icon and click on "Notification Settings", from here you can decide how you're notified:
1. Only receive mentions when someone uses @mention
2. Do not get any messages
3. Stop anyone sending you @mention (including admins etc.)
4. All roles (admins) cannot send you @mention

Done. Enjoy a quieter Discord experience.

**Please note**, when joining a new server, you will need to set your own preferences for the new server.

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Why do brokers use a VFSC license?

Accepted Answer

The VFSC is the "Vanuatu Financial Services Commission", which is the financial regulatory authority of Vanuatu ([VFSC website](https://vfsc.vu)).

## Why use a license from Vanuatu?

Brokers that have clients using leverage of 500:1 might look to license within other jurisdictions enabling them to continue offering this leverage to clients, to that ratio.

Within Vanuatu there is **no leverage restriction on brokers financial products**. Therefore brokers wishing to offer clients a higher leverage product can on-board them via this license.

Be aware, if you are on-boarded via a license outside of your country of residence, the protection you might receive for the money in you brokerage account differs to the regulation under the **VFSC license**.

For some traders, this is a red flag, for other traders, that wish to access higher leverage, it's a known but *accepted risk*.

The three main reasons a broker might use a [VFSC](https://tradetheday.com/glossary/vfsc) license.

### 1. Speed of getting a license.
The speed on setting up a license in Vanuatu is competitive verus other jurisdictions. Providing all documents and required information is submitted on time, a license can be granted with just 3 months. Keep in mind this is much quicker than other regions that have different application processes.

For example, approval for a Cyprus ([CySec](https://tradetheday.com/glossary/cysec)) forex license can easily take over 12 months.

Often forex brokers looking to obtain a fast license, consider VFSC. Consider this when selecting a broker, are they going to be around for long, is this broker trust worthy. Often a brokerage will have several licenses in addition to one with the VFSC.

### 2. A VFSC license is cost effective. 
A Forex Broker license in Vanuatu is cost effective, especially when compared to other "*offshore regions*" like Belize or Seychelles.

If a business is launching a forex brokerage it might make sense financially to begin with a license in Vanuatu saving costs initially and then build a brand. Again, watch out for brokers that wish to establish a brand, not setup and close.

### 3. A Vanuatu dealers in securities license offers flexibility
Establishing a forex broker license in Vanuatu offers flexibility compared to other regions. Unlike a licenses in other areas with leverage capped at certain levels, there are no leverage restrictions for forex brokers licensed in Vanuatu.

In addition, VFSC licensed forex brokers are able to operate as either a market maker or provide straight through processing (STP). The VFSC also permits PAMM/MAM accounts with the inclusion of money management services.
