Remove /r/ board ?

Sorry, but I am one of the few that sees /r/ as a pointless board.

Whenever I go to /r/ to request non porn materials. I get told to fuck off to the board related to what I am requesting.
And when I go the the boards related to my request, my request does get filled out most of the time.
Even if the rules says you aren't allowed to request on those boards. (I know, I know.. I don't care)

I understand it's to prevent people from spamming the other boards with requests only.
But it doesn't seem to matter as things are now, /r/ only  helps with things that contains porn, and the other boards still get requests related to them and a large amount of them gets filled out.

So? should /r/ be removed as it doesn't serve a purpose? What do you think?

no and heres why. /r/ is for requests, for info, for torrents, for help, and for fun. it serves its purpose, but it is overloaded with fuck tards who will say fuck off at a moments notice. take for example a few years ago. there was a poster who i have dubbed tooniefag. i call him that due to his hate for all things western art related. someone would request a rule 34, and he would spam the thread with his lame ass pics calling people toonie lovers. this lead to a flame war, and finally mods stepped in. he would spam they would ban. it didnt take long, now requests are just that. for what ever. i think of /r/ the same as /b/ without the faggots snaping up ever 30sec. to spam more shit.
