# /post

With the `/post` command, you can post a message "from" your character rather than your Discord username. Called Roleposting, this feature ties in to your **Inconnu** characters' current stats and offers a number of advanced features, such as tagging, bookmarking, and searching.

When you use `/post`, the bot presents a modal dialogue where you can enter your text. You may enter a post as long as **8000 characters** spread across two text fields; **Inconnu** will intelligently split them across multiple posts as necessary.

**Tip:** Write your post in an external editor or in the main Discord textbox. This will let you reference other posts without losing your progress.

### Bookmark title

If you set a *bookmark title* in the modal dialogue, then you can use [`/bookmarks`](/premium/roleposting/bookmarks.md) to quickly view it later.

### Tags

A single post may have multiple *tags*, separated by semicolons, for lookup with the [`/tags`](/premium/roleposting/tags.md) command. Many users use tags for tracking awakening scenes, Discipline use, when specific traits have been rolled, scenes with specific characters, and more.

### Editing & deleting

You may edit or delete a post by right-clicking the message and navigating to `Apps -> Post: Edit` or `Apps -> Post: Delete`. On mobile, long-press the message, then tap on `Apps` to bring up the menu.

{% hint style="success" %}
**If your premium membership lapses, you still have access to your old posts!** You can edit/delete them and view bookmarks/tags without issue.
