Just to clarify my post - I'm talking about having some time between requesting the same song... not between individual requests.
12 hours is not too bad. But I have to admit, even I have been fustrated with things like Blue Shift - Rome being requested and played _several_ times a day. It only really stopped once I removed it from the request list. Other times, I had to keep an eagle eye on the queue to delete the request, so you never heard it. There are many other examples of this - we had incidents where Supper's Ready was played in the same way, as was Tarkus. We really had a problem when we had the Lamb sides up - they'd get played over and over again. We removed those too.
I see time between requests of the same song to be a good alternative to removing the song from everyone's list of choices, as we've been forced to do on occasion. The system currently in place prevents songs and aritsts from being played within a few hours of each other. It doesn't really address this problem we're having.
As to the time period, I'm open to suggestions. Just keep in mind the larger picture -- there are hundreds of people from all over the world listening to the same broadcast you are. What would serve everyone best? I'd err on the side of variety.
