-# DISABLE_CACHE
-#   No albums or artists are ever added to the cache, meaning releases will be rediscovered
-#   during every crawl and classified as new. This will also not prevent these albums getting
-#   added to the target playlists over and over again.
-#
-# DISABLE_PLAYLIST_ADDITIONS
-#   Newly discovered releases will not be added to any target playlists. They will still be marked
-#   with a notifier though and the "Last Search" description will still be set.
-#
-# DISABLE_NOTIFICATION_MARKERS
-#   The black and white circles of the target playlists will not be modified under any circumstance.
-#
-# DISABLE_SCHEDULED_CRAWLS
-#   Scheduled crawls that run once every half hour will be completely disabled. Only manual calls
-#   at /crawl will be executed.
-#
-# DISABLE_INITIAL_CRAWL
-#   The initial crawl when first starting the bot will be skipped entirely.
-#
-# DISABLE_RELAY
-#   Relaying releases will be skipped even when a config file exists.
