Do petitions work? I think there are better ways to get what you want.

[Big Business]

I've noticed alot of petitions on this website asking for Disney to fix certain problems in the game. However, I don't think that these petitions, no matter how many signitures they get, do anything at all.

Petitions are a way to get the government to act upon a problem. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well in other states, you can send a bill to the government with a petition attached to show that the bill has support. This makes the state legislature more likely to take your bill seriously.

However, this concept has carried over to other fields, fields where it doesn't work as well. For example, take the petition that the ttc'ers are making that asks Disney to fix the invasion problem. Let's say they get 200 signatures and then it's sent to Disney. It's only one person sending one email with 200 names which could easily be coined names. To the lazy "customer service" representatives at Disney, this is completely inconsequential. You're lucky even if they say, "We'll take it into consideration."

If you really want Disney to do somthing, petitions aren't the way to go. Just tell everyone to email disney with your complaints. If they're email servers are flooded with complaints about a problem, it'll get their attention better than one little email that they will probably only glance at if anything.

Does anyone agree with me?

I do...I think you're absolutely right.
Though I don't mind signing petitions or petition posts....can't do any harm, right?

They don't work. Toontown does there own thing. As long as people continue to play, the game will continue there way.

Petitions are very useless. One probably thinks that the Toontown developers will follow the petition, and that is why they are making them.

They don't really help anything. I would like to know a few reasons why some people think that the petitions are helpful?

[Cnickisher]

Hi, Im making this because i see too many petions to change things on toontown. And i think they are pointless. Disney will not listen to our comments/questions. And when you email them they ALWAYS send an auto-response. I see so many petitions to get the old distrect system back, get the mary-go-round back, and newly to get someone banned. People please disney will not listen. I saw this webpage of disney that said "Disney will not listen to peoples ideas". So stop making the petitions. And also TTC gets way too many petitions. So stop making them and get over it. At first when the new distrects came out i was like "uggggh" now im used to it and it dont bother me. And i know all my friends got over it. SO STOP MAKING PETITIONS!

[MegaMarble]

I think there already is a thread on this topic.

But, I completely agree. It's silly to have petitions on a fansite! Just be happy with what we DO have and don't complain about any changes or things that should be added to the game.

[Biscuit]

Well, the more threads that try to stop petitions, the better.
