The Idea Pool

We provide for our SobiPro club customers (former and current) a possibility to submit an idea for a new feature in SobiPro or its applications. Also ideas for new applications can be submitted.

The following rules apply to customers who submit an idea and to customers who vote for an idea.

Add an Idea

On the website www.Sigsiu.NET we provide a section named "Idea Pool". This pool lists all new, rejected, accepted and implemented submissions.

To add a submission, you need to login to the site. That means, that only former and current SobiPro club members have the right to submit an idea. This honours users which already bought a subscription in the past, and as a side effect it should prevent the idea pool from getting spammed.

While adding an idea, you need to enter a title for that idea. Be specific but not too long, as this title identifies your idea in the list. You need also to add a description for your idea. Here it is advised to elaborate your idea. Additionally you can add two images if necessary.

You can submit ideas for SobiPro or its applications. Just select it from the list. If you think your idea is a new application, just select 'New application'. We have the rights to change your selection, if we think it is wrong.

A submitted idea needs approval by an administrator to get published. A submitted idea can be rejected at this level, if it contains SPAM, advertising, inappropriate language or is otherwise inappropriate. This decision is final and not subject of discussion.

Please note, that submissions cannot be changed (edited).

If a submitted idea is not rejected, it gets the status 'new' and will be visible for the public in the list of submissions.

Vote for an idea and leave a comment

Now our SobiPro club customers (former and current) have the possibility to vote for the idea. Each customer can vote only once. If a customer has more than one account, we have the right to remove multiple votes. Voting is done by clicking on the thumbs-up or thumbs-down symbol. Click thumbs up if you think the idea is good, or thumbs down if you think the idea is not needed.
Additionally to the vote, a comment why you voted in this way, can be added. Please note, you can comment only once. If you want to discuss an idea, use the discussing system on the end of each idea page.

It does not make sense to click thumbs-up for all ideas as we do not have the men-power to implement everything. If you click all ideas up, your favourite idea may not have the chance to get implemented.

Comments aren't published automatically. They will be reviewed first. We have the right to decline a comment if it contains SPAM, advertising, inappropriate language or is otherwise inappropriate. This decision is final and not subject of discussion. Do not waste your one and only comment!

There is no anonymous commenting. Your comment is public and will be shown together with your name. With leaving your comment you agree to that.

If the number of votes is convincing, we decide if the idea will be accepted or not. Whether an idea will be implemented or not, or how or when it will be implemented, is the sole decision of Sigsiu.NET GmbH. We have the right to decline an idea even if customers vote for it. Our decisions are made based on the benefits for the majority of the users, the usability and amount of work, and if it complies with the structure and design of SobiPro and/or of the application. Our decision is final and not subject of discussion.

If a submitted idea is declined, it gets the status 'rejected' and commenting will be closed.

If a submitted idea is accepted, it gets the status 'accepted' and commenting will be closed.

As soon as the idea is implemented, it gets the status 'implemented' and voting for it will be closed.

Time frames for implementation can be given, but we don't have to.

Submitting an idea does not give you the right to get your idea implemented, or to get it implemented in the way you want it, or to get it implemented at a specific date. If you need your own specific feature or application developed in time, feel free to contact us for paid development services!

Discuss an Idea

Our SobiPro club customers (former and current) have the possibility to discuss an idea.

Discussions are published automatically, but are moderated. We have the right to delete a contribution if it contains SPAM, advertising, inappropriate language or is otherwise inappropriate. We have the right to exclude users from commenting if they repeatedly break the rules. These decisions are final and not subject of discussion. By participating in the discussion, you accept our rules and the standard terms of netiquette on forums as you can find them for example here.

These rules are subject to change at any time if we think it is needed.
