The Etiquettes on Requesting Songs on @RKTI

To ensure fairness to all tweelisteners during request session, please kindly follow below etiquettes on how to request a song on Radio Komunitas Twitter Indonesia (RKTI):

  1. Please request *one* song at a time, and wait until your requested song is played on-air before you request another song. Multiple songs in one single request tweet is *not* allowed, except if the DJ specifically allows and/or during special sessions where tweelisteners can request multiple songs at a time (for example: DJ @ziedhane’s #3in1 session).
  2. Please mention the artist and song title completely.
  3. Please mention @RKTI to request a song. For DJs who require tweelisteners to follow and mention the DJ’s Twitter account when requesting songs, please ensure that you follow and mention him/her when you request your favourite song.
  4. Please be patient to wait until your requested song is played, do not keep on requesting the same song all over again. During off-peak time, you can expect your requested song to be played within 15-20 minutes after you requested the song, however during busy time, please expect your requested song to be played within 30-60 minutes, or even 2 hours.
  5. Please ensure that that your requested song is inline with the running session. For example, please do not request a jazz song during #keROCKan session, which is specialised in playing rock songs.
  6. When the time permits, it’s OK for you to keep on requesting your favourite songs, provided that you follow the above rule number (1): wait until your requested song is played before you proceed to request your next favourite song.

Happy requesting. :)

Etika Request Lagu di @RKTI

Untuk menjamin fairness (keadilan) bagi seluruh tweelisteners pada saat sesi request, berikut etika me-request lagu di Radio Komunitas Twitter Indonesia (RKTI):

  1. Silahkan me-request hanya *satu* lagu setiap kali request, dan tunggu hingga lagu request-an Anda diputar, sebelum Anda request lagu berikutnya. Request “borongan” (me-request langsung beberapa lagu dalam satu tweet request) *tidak* diperbolehkan, kecuali jika DJ-nya memperbolehkan atau memang sedang sesi tema khusus yang mengharuskan tweelisteners me-request beberapa lagu dalam satu request (misalnya sesi #3in1-nya DJ @ziedhane).
  2. Sebutkan dengan lengkap nama penyanyi dan judul lagunya.
  3. Mention @RKTI untuk request lagu. Untuk DJ yang mengharuskan tweelistener mem-follow dan mention DJ-nya untuk request, pastikan Anda mem-follow dan mention akun Twitter DJ-nya untuk request lagu.
  4. Harap bersabar menunggu request-nya diputar, jangan terus “memborbardir” DJ dengan request lagu yang sama berulang-ulang. Kalau lagi sepi request, lagu Anda bisa diputar dalam waktu 15-20 menit, tapi kalau lagi ramai request, lagu Anda baru bisa diputar 30-60 menit, bahkan 2 jam kemudian. Harap bersabar menunggu lagu Anda diputar di antrian playlist.
  5. Pastikan Anda request lagu sesuai tema dari sesi DJ yang sedang on-air saat itu. Sebagai contoh: jangan request lagu jazz kalau lagi sesi #keROCKan (lagu2 rock).
  6. Selama waktu masih memungkinkan, Anda diperbolehkan untuk request lagu berulang kali, selama peraturan nomor (1) diatas dipenuhi: tunggu lagu request Anda diputar sebelum Anda request lagu berikutnya.

Selamat me-request lagu. :)
