So the suggestion is that everytime you random it blacklists the song which it chose, so your next randoms don't include this song.

Why don't you just delete the map ? I don't want my maps to be blacklisted when I press F2...

Uh, no offense but why is like all but 1 of the posts trying to work out what the 4 simple lines I wrote mean?

It's been annoying me for a while now that I can hit F2 and get a song, then 5 random hits later it's back on that song. But of course I didn't want to play this song so now I have to hit f2 at least once more.

That means the 4 "simple lines" you wrote did not communicate your thoughts effectively. While I don't expect to see professional writings on a forum, it'll be good if people can simplify their posts when trying to convey important messages (if they cannot communicate effectively).

I'm not picking on you Hula, but since you asked, I'm going to use your original post as an example of how to simplify and communicate more efficiently:

Keep a long story short. All of the above could've been summarised as "Random does not function properly at the moment." Writing verbally is usually a bad idea when one tries to convey important idea/messages. It makes the topic a lot harder to read. In contrast, writing verbally is totally acceptable where entertainment is more important than ideas (eg Off Topic).

This is your proposed solution to the current situation, ie the most important part of your post. Once again simplify! You want people to read it and understand thoroughly what you are trying to say, so keep it simple. This paragraph could've been summarised as:

"Please change how Random behaves so that we won't get the same song in a row."

Now compare this revised post with the OP:

Fix How F2 Behaves
Random does not function properly at the moment. Please change how Random behaves so that we won't get the same song in a row.

Yeah this is more like a bug that needs fixing...
