See I like writing short stories and poems. But some of the ideas I get are from replies I get from here. Is using ideas from replies I get here considered stealing? And if so, how can I credit them?

No. Most writers incorporate ideas from talking to people and soliciting feedback. It's only really plagiarism if you blatantly copy large sections of text word-for-word without attribution.

Definitely not. Plus, I'd think most of the people you're "taking" from are flattered to serve as inspiration.

In any form of literature (even fiction), if more than 1/4 of the work is directly from outside sources, it can be considered plagarism. (From my AP comp Teacher)
