It has come to my attention that the karaoke songs are used WAY more often that they should on the fun server. They are meant for testing and to have fun, yes. But personally I just don't like listening to the same song over and over every time somebody joins the server and decides it would be a good idea to have a karaoke song play. This destroys the nature of karaoke, for several reasons:

• First: People don't sing along when somebody randomly puts up a karaoke song. They just want to hear the song play and some people don't enjoy to sing when they don't want to.
  
  Second: The text on-screen can get annoying when constantly spammed throughout the course of a map. Especially when so many people are putting up karaoke songs.
  
  Third: The songs are being overused. Since so little songs are up at the moment, the same songs are being played over and over. This causes people to get tired of the songs and even begin to dislike them, thus causing the work put into making them wasted. I know it's on the fun server and all, but when people overuse it, it begins to become NOT fun. Just annoying.
  
  Fourth: People plain old don't want karaoke when they don't want it. Sometimes it is used when four or so people are on the server without consent of the other players, and almost all of them have to use the "!stop" trigger to stop the music from playing on their own computer.

My request is that either the people with karaoke rights start to use them more wisely (i.e. put up a vote before playing a random song), or since I doubt that will happen very easily, that the rights be taken away from all save the higher admins and karaoke developers. This is for testing, after all.

Karaoke isn't on the server right now because of the whole medic gun issue. When I re-add it I will make it turned off by default with a higher admin control to turn it on and off.

NOOOOOO!! karaoke is one of the reasons I play on the fun server you should just make it so that it shuts off COMPLETEY (not just music) if it is used more than once a round. true it can get annoying at times but I have hardly seen it overused. or if people are going to overuse it just give all admins the power to shut it off for a while for like a time limit and just don't us the power to turn it back on until that time limit is over but please
PLEASE! don't just take it off!

I don't think he permanently removed it doghouse, don't worry. He's just waiting to fix the server since we had that whole problem earlier.
