Tagging in Competitions Time

MSE_Stephen

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 - Website (Entry Form)           (DEFAULT - so may not be needed?)
A2 - email
A3 - Survey
A4 - 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 - RP - Rafflepress
G5 - KS - Kingsumo
G6 - Woobox                               (I suspect this is not needed)

Social Media
S1 - IG - Instagram
S2 - FB - Facebook
S3 - TT - Tik Tok
S4 - X - Twitter

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

Should platforms include Kingsumo and Rafflepress?

Social Media - X (Twitter)

Method - Survey

Would Entry Form be better described as Website?

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the suggestions so far!
The ability to have ‘Scoped Tags’ just for Competitions Time, will be available quite soon.

But, as is often the case with new features, there will be limited ability to edit at first, with more functionality coming later (I don’t think we’ll be able to merge tags, change the URL ‘slug’ after a tag is created, or change the order in which they will appear on a post).

So it’s important to get tags right the first time!
If that means only using a limited number at first while Compers get used to them, and only adding more tags later, then that’s fine. Or if everyone can agree on a larger number of tags we’re sure will be helpful - that’s also fine!

Please keep suggestions coming, and let us know what you think will work/not work.
