But I must confess that I am heading in the direction of uncivil behaviour as concerns this particular change of station format.

When I consider the amount of time I do spend listening to AM, and the amount of time I spend at the site, it is pretty D@#%*& amazing that I have never reached the max number of requests in a 24 hour period. That was before this change. Now it would be impossible.

And I AM an insomniac!

I personally find the new time limit between requests abhorrent. This change is more likely to cause me to quit requesting altogether.

Considering that Rogor has said the same thing earlier in this forum, I can only imagine that there will be more people who will feel the same way. Many of them probably will not even say anything about it. How many registered users are there? How many take advantage of this great feature? How many actually voice their opinions in these forums or the shoutbox? This might be an interesting statistic to try to determine.

I, for one would like the between requests time limit returned to the 60 minutes that it used to be set at. The 120 minutes between requests time limit is begining to frustrate the bejeezus out of me.

That sucks for me, because I really enjoy this feature. I have, almost from the first time I used this feature, tried to be considerate of others as concerns requesting. I have avoided making some requests because I knew that some listeners with whom I was chatting with did not enjoy the band I wanted to request.

The consideration of others is a measure of our assumed civility & maturity. So please be considerate when making requests. Think of the various points that have been made throughout this discussion.

I think MrMagoo made many good points, and if you just think through what has been said, it just may improve everyones experience of this great place for music that so many of us know & love.


Thanks for reading,

OK. It was only a test. Had this been an actual emergency I would be maintaining the 120 minute blackout period. I have, as per Bm's plea, returned to the 60 minute blackout period. Play nice.

PS. I don't often request but the other day I wanted to and it annoyed me too.
