Compensation for good ideas used by the Devs/Mods

LEGO does a good job of this. They have a way to suggest ideas for the LEGO sets. If an idea is supported heavily by the LEGO community, then it gets reviewed by LEGO. If the company decides the guy who came up with the original concept has a good idea, then they may decide to use his concept. So if his idea was a new LEGO set and the LEGO company decides to actually use this idea, they will compensate the individual who originally came up with the idea based on how many lego sets are sold I believe. 

 

I think this could be something cool implemented. Whether it be just recognition or even a cash compensation of $1000, I think it would be cool to get recognition for good ideas posted on these forums if the Devs/Mods think they are good enough to be implemented.

Two thoughts:

1. This is a great idea and they should absolutely compensate people for their ideas
2. Bwahahahaha! LOL!  You think they're going to give money to other people? XD You must be new here.

money doesn't have to be the only form of compensation. As I said, it could simply be recognition of who came up with the idea first, or perhaps the individual who became the main proponent of said idea. Another form of compensation could be a special dino tame or a lot of one resource. They could perhaps offer a list of items and the originator of the idea can choose one from the list.

IMHO WildCard do a great job with the sponsored mod program.  I don't know of many other companies who pay so much money out to the modding community.

I was unaware of this. I appreciate the correction

Doubt something like this would work, since there is the hidden archives of the original suggestion subforum. And with all forms of social media it would be tedious to prove who is the originator of an idea.

I was also unaware.  I was under the impression that they straight up stole the sponsored mods under the guise of "It's our game so all your mod are belong to us"
