an idea
The idea of a request is to hear a song that one wants to hear. Given the amount of programming and the "1+3" rule that lotus cites, it seems a request is not being heard by the requestor more and more frequently. Indeed, I had experienced that in the past.
Before I make my suggestion, I was under the assumption that the request IS denied when you choose the same artist. You then have to choose another song. What did I miss here?
I have a different approach to this, but I do not want to go into a long explanation because I'm not sure what is feasible by computer programs. Basically, I would like to see a requestor shut out of the next ten requests once a request is made.
Additionally, a request should be denied if the estimated time of playing is longer than three hours from the time of the request. That would take into account a show that is, say 30 minutes away. This keeps requested songs from backing up in the queue.
The actual idea is a lot more complicated than what I am saying - maybe a white room discussion sometime would be in order.
What would be accomplished by this is to have the person who requests enjoy the request, and have as many different people enjoy the feature of requesting. If we indeed have 100-175 listeners, it's really hard to justify someone requesting more than 3 times a day. In another thread, I was against a limit. But it seems to me a decent idea.
