Tags
Save answers you type again and again (rules, FAQs, links, how-tos) as tags, and post any of them in a second with /tag show.
By the end, you'll have
- Tags for your most common answers
- Your team posting them instantly with /tag show
- Clear control over who can create and edit tags
Before you start
- Manage Server, so you can open the dashboard.
Every server has questions that come up daily: "where are the rules?", "how do I get verified?". Tags let you write the answer once and post it whenever it's needed. They're free, with no limit.
Save text up to 2,000 characters under a short name.
/tag show posts it publicly, without pinging anyone.
Placeholders fill in the user, server and more.
