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?:)

Chris 09-25-2008 11:08 PM

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.

Mr.LoveLocket 09-25-2008 11:09 PM

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.

Captain Seaford 09-26-2008 02:16 AM

Yeah, I suggested that too xD

Swash 09-26-2008 02:18 AM

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.

Captain Seaford 09-26-2008 02:32 AM

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

Dr. Zeppers 09-26-2008 02:45 AM

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! ;)

Stormhawk 09-26-2008 02:52 AM

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.

Jade McKidd 09-26-2008 04:06 AM

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!
