My 2¢/2p/.02€
I typically do not make requests. The moon is a great tool for discovering new music for me. I listen (and faff). I work from my home so I can and do listen to music all day; therefore, I hear and I am more aware of all of the repeats of songs and artists than others may be.
I have taken to requesting short FK tracks in the past week to limit the inundation by longer (20+min) FK tracks. It seems to have helped a bit.
As for request free days? I don't know. If you sum up all of the time devoted to shows, there is already a request free day. Tuesdays are virtual request free days with the repeat of gag's show and then Spaz's show.
I do believe that many of these repeat request offenders are not the regulars -- at least not those that frequent the chat room. Perhaps a little "please be considerate" message or "way too many requests of band X" message when you enter Playlist/Live Request might stem the tide. The person(s) making these requests may not be aware that they are causing such debate here. They may not read the forums, join in the chat, or even have a login on the web site.
