So...I don't get any credit...
 

It looks like Disney took my idea...almost EXACTLY...well, actually...yes, EXACTLY. Reassignment of points for a fee.

And I don't get any credit for it...and I'm no longer a member because of the bad connection.

Did you submit the idea to them or something?:)

Ok first off offence but i had this EXACT same idea also and so did a lot of other people. No offence but it isnt that hard to come up with reassign points for a fee. HUNDREDS of people had this exact sam idea. There is no way you can claim this idea for yourself.

If you posted this on a PUBLIC FORUM then its PUBLIC meaning anyone who wants to can use the idea unless copyrighted by the law which i doubt it was.

What you did was a suggestion and i bet 50+ people send it
If i say disney you need to have gold days every week. and they do it who cares
if they don't credit maybe some else suggested

I agree with Chris and Mr.LoveLocket. Hundreds of people could have submitted the same idea.:)

This was a very common idea/suggestion, it was discussed in detail on these forum several times, and this was not likely the only place.

Be glad your idea was common enough of a request that they addressed it.

I assure you, it was not put in solely on your own request/suggestion.

Yeah, I suggested that too xD

I suggest a Lot of good things and even if you were the only person to suggest it and they added it they wouldnt give you credit.

how would u know if u were the only one to suggest it they wouldnt give u credit?

In accordance to POTCO Terms of Agreement (doesn't anyone read these things or what?) it says any ideas, suggestions or comments submitted to them become the property of Disney, and that no credit or compensation need / will be awarded...

And besides, I think we ALL suggested this - over a period of many months :D

Nah, I'm too lazy to read any types of rules from anywhere...ROFL

I was talking to this popcorn vendor outside of the POTC ride at Disneyland about 30 years ago and told him.. ya know.. they oughtta make a movie bout this ride.

Gee.. I got no credit, wheres my lawyer! ;)

Lol Zep. You need to get payed and get credit.:)

You are correct Disney does mention that all suggestions sent in will become their property and no credit will be given.

Honestly i dont see a reason to get credit i mean are they gonna put ~Thanks to Jack Sparrow for submitting this idea? Technically its only idea when disney did most of the work. Coding graphics ect ect.

LOL, hasn't WOW and many other games out there been doing this same exact thing? Yes, they have, so nothing new to the world of games online. Also, if anything, Disney took the idea from them, and most likely not from us!

Just wanted to make a note on this thread. (I will note that this is from the Toontown Contact us form, but through reading it I would believe this conforms to all Disney owned companies, games, and affiliates.)

This comes down in a summary to say that while Disney appreciates their guests and members contacting them, they discourage suggestions being sent to them about future releases for anything owned by The Walt Disney Company. The reason behind this would be for the case going on here, in which once the submission is sent it becomes property of Disney and they can use it without consent or recognition to the creator(s) of the idea.

Why? Who gives an idea for credit? I gave an idea for an improvement for improvement and not credit.

It seems as though you haven't read the terms and conditions.
Submitting ideas to Disney means they will have total control over it and you will not reseive any credit what-so-ever.

If you give them an idea it is now theirs and you'll get nothing.
Although I think they came up with this idea themselves.

If you give, what you give is given anyway, so what you gave has been given.
