Implemented Ideas Reward Program

Implemented Ideas Reward Program

How about a Reward Program to the folks that produce ideas that get implemented? Sure, as the user of the software I get that we benefit from the added features when an idea is implemented and I appreciate Autodesk looking for suggestions from the end users but I think it would be a commendable act to reward those who contribute to a better product.

 

Reward suggestions could be Autodesk Swag (t-shirts, coffee cups, pens) you know... all that stuff you seek at AU. Smiley Happy

 

Another could be some love here:

It doesn't have to be limited to implemented ideas but I think this would go a long way and generate even more good ideas from the community.

Another idea of a reward could be similar to what was done by Dominos Pizza in 2016 by offering shares of stocks:

Idea contributions get accounted for in forum ranks.  The actual math is reviewed occasionally but not discussed (best bet - don't even bring it up).

 

Trying to provide some kind of reward would be difficult to manage, as that would kind of promote "spam ideas", people posting just for the sake of rewards without any real thought.  It can also cause some problems as some Ideas get accepted while others do not.  I'd rather Autodesk not have to deal with the politics that involves.

I think you get "Spam Ideas" no matter what you do.. This wont make any more than we see today with users not looking to see if an existing idea is there first before posting. Submission dates are important to see who has the original. I am suggesting a reward for "Implemented only" (currently only 39 for Revit Ideas). Its their process they already have that makes the determination in what get implemented or does not so that part remains the same.

 

So in this case 39 T-Shirts shouldn't give anyone heartburn (unless you are an Autodesk bean counter person lol)

+4000 ideas posted to date. Do we really need a program to encourage more ideas to be posted? If anything, we need a program to reward people to do a quick search before posting 🙂

No, we need Autodesk to realize more ideas, I would say... If you see so many people thinking about possible improvements, it comes strange to me that only so little of it would be worthwhile of implementation. People posting an idea that already exists, probably are using the software full time, creating the idea in their time off and not reading another 15k ideas while sleeping. I think this should stay that way, so perhaps Autodesk might hire someone extra who’s good at managing many ideas, and some more people to implement these ideas...?
