Giveaway Tag Changes

[m]

Hello everyone! We're making a change to the giveaway flairs today.

Feedback from users both on the sub and through the survey indicated a number of concerns.

#####

• The silver giveaway flair looks like a completed post.
• People often forget to put in hacked/cloned in their giveaway titles. This leads to a lot of posts being removed.
• The golden special giveaway tag was becoming almost entirely a hack/clone exclusive.
• Confusion over what exactly is a special giveaway vs a regular giveaway. For example, Phiones are regular giveaways because they're breedables, despite their semi-legendary status. Enigma, Custap, Jaboca, and Rowap berries are also regular giveaways, despite being event-exclusive berries that can't be found in-game.

After discussing this among the mod team, we decided to put in a new, more colorful blue giveaway flair. We are also removing the old special giveaway tag and replacing it with a purple hacked/cloned giveaway tag [hcg]. This way there's no confusion over the special vs regular giveaways, and it will hopefully be easier to figure out what to tag your giveaways.

##Note:

• You will still need to tag all hacked/cloned giveaways with [hack/clone] in the title for full disclosure, because not all mobile users see CSS flairs and styles.
• Contest giveaways continue to use the pink contest giveaway [cg] tag, and need [hack/clone] in the title if relevant.
• Don't forget to use the close thread link to mark your giveaway as closed when you're done!

That's all for now, thanks for reading. We are still working on the other suggestions we got from the recent survey, and will be making a mod post with some shiny graphs soon. As always, best of luck on your way to becoming a Pokemon master!
