# Users & Reputation

Beyond matchmaking, LFG Hub maintains lightweight profiles, automatic roles, and a reputation signal that helps members find good teammates.

## Automatic roles

The bot manages several roles for you:

* **Active-player roles** — playing a tracked game can auto-assign a per-game "active player" role, making it easy to see and ping people who actually play a title.
* **LFG ping role** — a per-game role the bot creates and manages for [Smart LFG Pings](/features/notifications#smart-lfg-ping).
* **Role-to-filter mapping** — you can map your server's existing roles to matchmaking filters, so membership in a role acts as a search filter.

For any of this to work, the bot's role must sit high enough in your role list — see [Permissions](/guide/permissions#role-hierarchy).

## Likes & reputation

After members play together, they can **like** a teammate. A player's total likes appears next to their name in groups as a simple, positive reputation signal — a way to recognize good teammates without heavy moderation.

* A minimum session length is required before a like counts, so it reflects real games played together.
* The tally **resets monthly**, keeping it a rolling, current signal rather than a permanent leaderboard.

## Friend & Steam codes

Members can save a Steam / friend code to their profile and have it shared into the voice channel via in-channel buttons, making it quick to add each other outside Discord.

## Member profiles & privacy

Each member's profile can hold their timezone (used for [scheduling](/features/scheduling)), notification preferences, and privacy settings. Members who prefer not to have their activity tracked can disable activity tracking, which turns off the presence-based features for them.

## Onboarding a new server

When the bot joins a server it registers the server, posts a localized welcome message pointing to `/setup-lfg-channel`, and (for supported languages) speaks to members in the server's preferred locale.
