Official Cloning + Hack Checking Sticky Thread (regulated, outlined, prerequisites, no strangers cloning your Pokemon!)

Pretty much everything has been listed, but I think sticking the two together would be a good idea. "Can you check this, and maybe clone it once or twice if it checks out?" and whatnot. XD

It really sounds like a good idea, and something to push for. I'm already tired of looking through locks and thread shadows to find whatever one it is I seek. XD If it is at all possible, I say do it!

This doesn't sound like a good idea in the slightest. Seems like a lot more clutter, and more things than necessary to remain conscious of.
Helpful Guides Sticky (one thread includes topics: thread presentation, RNG, EV, IV)
For: Eldena, PokéSwimmer, RoseBlade, twistedpuppy, Kenshin5, Livewire, dragonomega, Kirozane
Against:
I don't see why this shouldn't be done. Each generation has an RNG, EV and IV guide in the FAQ section (S'where I learned BW RNG, not gonna lie) but if it were all conveniently grouped where its results were most seen it would probably make things easier.
Quick Trade Misc Services Sticky Thread
For: dragonomega
Against: twistedpuppy, Kenshin5
Not Sure: Kirozane
Sure having one QTT is nice but it does get quickly cluttered, and posts gets pushed back and from there forgotten if they haven't already been dealt with. And a second would also be more for poor TB to keep track of on her own. So really this is a bit of a win-lose. So I will perch on the fence here.
Required Prefix/Generation for all Trade Threads
For: sunwriter, Pokemon Game Fan
Against: Kenshin5, Alternative, PokéSwimmer, dragonomega, Kirozane
Maybe if it were 4th gen only. But if you are doing 5th gen only or possibly both IV and V it shouldn't really be necessary considering 5th gen is the current stage and thus where most traders will "perform" so to speak.
Daily Trade Corner chit + Question/RNG help thread
For: johnny18, Kenshin5, dragonomega, Kirozane
Against:
This should be specified, regardless of if the guide sticky doesn't make an appearance. Because even with the guide(s) these will probably still be questions. Though some people would probably end up saying "go to the guides", which would be a kind of rude answer.
Increasing minimum number of Pokemon in thread
For: dragonomega, twistedpuppy, Kenshin, johnny18, PokéSwimmer, Kirozane
Against:
As Dragon stated, 15 is a bit too low considering people could still be all "STARTERS!!!" But to expand, it should be 15 different lines maybe (discluding branch evos) so the people can't just toss in evolved starters with the unevolved.
Include OT/ID of all Pokemon in Shop
For: Pokemon Game Fan
Against: Kenshin5, dragonomega, Kirozane
Again, in agreement with Dragon here. If you are "devoted" for lack of better word, to your EV/IV shop you will be posting OT/ID as it is. Though it would help a little so as to avoid someone trading pokemon on the hack list. But the odds of that happening are kind of slim.
Increase amount of your OT in EVd Shops
For: PokéSwimmer
Against: Keshin5, dragonomega, Kirozane
The amount it's at is alright. I myself have kept it almost strictly to my OT, and not cluttered it. XD
It'll be easier to get a start at a low number, as long as updationals happen every now and again with your OT to increase your count.
