I'm the go-to person for Trisphee on legal issues like this; I'm not a lawyer but I do a lot of reading.
Ideas aren't subject to property law. You can't own an idea. Posting an idea here doesn't mean you can't use it yourself.
All posts made on Trisphee become property of Trisphee, though. The text of your post becomes ours, because we have to be able to store it and make copies of it (for serving up the website, for backups, for moderation, whatever) et cetera. I'm not sure of the EXACT legal theory behind the case of if you post something here and then copy it to somewhere else, but the legal theory here doesn't matter as we're all sane, friendly people here and we're not going to try to beat you over the head with copyright on something you wrote -- if you post a fanfiction here for example we're not going to say "you can't publish that somewhere else because we own it now bwahaha".
If you have more specific questions, feel free to ask.
