####Modules (cogs):
Red is modular. Every module can contain additional features and/or set of commands. The basic bot only has a few commands for joining/leaving servers, managing cogs and settings. This allows Red to be fully customizable. You will be asked what to do with new modules during the initial configuration and whenever Red detects a new module at start.

* The owner is set during the initial configuration or with !setowner
* The owner is set during the initial configuration or with `!setowner`
* Compared to the first version Red, admin roles and mod roles are not *strictly* necessary. Most commands check for permissions too. For example, if a user with permissions to manage messages tries to use the cleanup command, it will still work.
####Help function:
* Always refer to it when you don't know how to use a command, a subcommand or a category of commands. Examples: `!help Audio` `!help flip` `!help cleanup messages`
* The help function only shows the commands that you have permissions to use. For example, normal users will not see admin commands.
