Song Requests

None. Except we're not subjected to the 5th playing of a given song that week.

Also, I may be misunderstanding, but I think it's been suggested that if a song is being abused and someone requests it, they get a random song instead of the one they requested.

Only the person who's been overrequesting gets this treatment. The rest of the folk get what they've bargained for.

Then Rick 'n' Roll makes me spew my dinner all over my computer by saying:
I agree with spaz...

You owe me a new keyboard. You'll be getting the bill.

In all honesty, I was never seriously considering making those types of modifications to the station (well, not VERY seriously, anyway). They'd be far too difficult to implement correctly and without bugs, and it would be a real bear to police. I have the feeling that I'd trap far more of the good guys with this than the bad guys.

It just wouldn't be worth the hassle and problems that it would create.

I am, however, still actively pursuing the option of request blocking. I've narrowed it down to about three different options, one of which will block access to the station entirely and the other two just blocking request functionality.

Roger -Dot- Lee, you realize, Rick, that this is like the third time this week. You trying to set a precedent or something? or maybe some kind of record?
