    Default Radio Request System Guidelines

    The following contains the VF Radio Request System Guidelines. If instead you are looking for the VF Discussion Board Guidelines, click here.

    You must create an account with Visions Fantastic to the use the VF Radio Request System.

    Once logged in, you can browse the library by title, author, album, etc. You can also browse the latest additions (Recently Added), view titles that have yet to stream (Never Played), browse the most popular titles in the database (Charts), or view a listing of recently played material (Playlist History).

    The cookie that keeps you logged in expires after 30 minutes of idle use, so you may have to log in again if you keep the page open. The page automatically refreshes to update the playlist information.

    To request a song, simply click the REQUEST button next to the title. The song will then be queued and played on the radio. Keep in mind that any other material queued before yours will be played first.

    And now, some pointed guidelines:

    R1. Please limit your requests to 3 titles per hour. If you're going to play a very long sound file of 15 minutes or more (queue music, loops, attraction or show soundtracks, etc.), limit your request to ONE title per hour. Excessive use of the Request system may have an impact on your VF account. Don't abuse it!
    - a. Between the hours of 11pm-4am, Pacific Time, there is no limit on run time requesting. Accordingly, between the hours of 11pm-4am, Pacific Time, you may request longer titles such as Area Music loops back-to-back.
    - b. Premium Members may request up to 5 titles per hour.
    - c. Upgrade Supporters may request up to 7 titles per hour.
    - d. Users who have demonstrated a clear disregard for VF Radio Request System policies will have their request limits lowered. If abuse continues, the requesting privilege will be suspended. If this has happened to you and you wish to have your privilege restored, you must contact CA Screamin Dude via PM to request restoration.

    R2. At any time a VF Staff Member may alter the current playlist if we feel a particular title is being overplayed or a particular user is abusing the Request system. Requesters must follow the instructions of VF staff at all times. If a "VF Radio Reminder" title plays while you are listening to the Radio, please take special care to ensure your requests are within Radio Request System Guidelines.

    R3. Do not ask in the Shoutbox, boards, PMs, etc, for copies of material played on VF Radio. Doing this may result in action being taken against your account and is a violation of VF Site Guideline 6.

    R4. Please be considerate of other listeners. Do not request the same title that has just played several songs ago. Click the Play History link on the left column to see what has played recently.

    R5. Limit your total request time to no longer than 25 minutes of run time per hour, unless you are requesting only one longer track in accordance with Radio Request System Guideline 1.

    R6. Abuse of the VF Radio Guestbook will result in a banning of your IP from VF Radio and VF. Abuse of the VF Radio Guestbook includes any violation of VF Site Guidelines which occurs in the VF Radio Guestbook.

    R7. Note that as of 02/02/2009, using the same username for both VF and the VF Radio Request System is now required. As of 02/02/2009, it is against VF Radio Request System guidelines to operate a username not identical to a current VF username.
    - a. As of 11/19/2009, the VF accounts have merged with the VF Radio Request System membership list. One only has to register with VF to use the request system, no further action is required. All VF Site Guidelines regarding membership and user names are directly applicable to VF Radio Requests.
    - b. Any attempt to register multiple accounts with the express purpose, either directly or inadvertently, of abusing the Radio Request system by means of any action specified in Guideline R1, R4, R5, or R6, shall result in a temporary and/or permanent VF Account ban.
    - c. Any single breach of Radio Request System Guideline R1, R4, R5, R6, or R7.b occurring within one month of the end of a temporary ban imposed as a result of a previous violation of R7.b shall result in an immediate, permanent VF Account and IP ban.

    Please note our most recent Guideline, R1.d: "Users who have demonstrated a clear disregard for VF Radio Request System policies will have their request limits lowered. If abuse continues, the requesting privilege will be suspended. If this has happened to you and you wish to have your privilege restored, you must contact CA Screamin Dude via PM to request restoration." You may also send me a PM to report abuse of the Radio Request System.

    Thank you.
