Tagging in Competitions Time

Hi everyone,

Following on from this post, I'm planning out Tagging on Competitions time. 
Starting off with a pilot test for 'Entry Method' tags.
If Compers find them useful, we can keep them and even add more in future if there is demand.
If they aren't useful, we can disable them. 

Please let us know what entry methods you would like to have a tag?

    I will comment on the other thread w.r.t. my opinions of tagging

    Here is my first draft for possible entry method tagging.

    Main Methods
    A1 - Entry Form                           (DEFAULT - so may not be needed?)
    A2 - email
    A3 - App                                       (you need to download & use a 3rd party App)

    MSE user derived categories
    M0 - Daily Entry
    M1 - Enter Early                          (single entry comps with multiple draws until a final end date)
    M2 - Newsletter                           (newsletter sign-up is compulsory to enter)
    M3 - MD - Mag Daily
    M4 - RS - Raffle Site
    M5 - On Air
    M6 - Effort                                   (you need to write a story or submit a photo etc)
    M7 - Collect                                (prize must be collected)
    M8 - Geographical Restrictions  (this is my suggestion for a new one that is needed)

    Contest Platforms                     (in my opinion these could be combined as a single tag)
    G1 - GL - Gleam
    G2 - VS - ViralSweep
    G3 - SW - Sweepwidget
    G4 - Woobox                               (I suspect this is not needed)

    Social Media
    S1 - IG - Instagram
    S2 - FB - Facebook
    S3 - TT - Tik Tok

    Sorry if I've missed something but do we think that some comps are "Daily" (but not "Mag Daily" or "Gleam" etc), so could maybe benefit from a tag?

    Of course - I was wondering who would spot that - © Capt. Mainwaring
