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?

Down with /r/

Remove /r/ board! It's useless!

/r/ is full of fail.
Sometimes feels like I am the only one trying to help people there. Finding what they need.
But no one ever fills out my requests. Then I got to another board and my requests gets filled.

I agree with OP
Remove the rule and /r/board, they don't work anyway.

The board would work if there was more moderation, but that pretty much goes for the site as a whole.

A blue version of /r/ would be nice.

I agree with #45

The problem with eliminating /r/: Imagine, that spam, on all the boards relevant. /s/ being hammered for "WHO'S THIS WHO'S THIS" every other post. /e/ and /h/ suffering from quintuple the doujin requests.

/r/ needs to stay as a filter. We could definitely use a blue /r/

blue /r/
You mean a "safe for work" /r/? Maybe.

There should be a sticky in /r/ about tineye.com

If I want /co/ I go to /co/.
Why?
Because I am sick and tired of trying for 4 weeks on /r/ to get someone to help me find one comic. When I can just go to /co/ and get the answer right away.
The only thing /r/ could say was "ask on /co/".

Okay, how about this then? Keep /r/ for the porn releated boards.
But lift the rule about requesting on the other boards.

Realistically, the best answer is to create two versions of /r/. One for the SFW and one for the NSFW boards.
Maybe create some kind of reward system, I dunno.

A SFW and NSFW /r/ would be nice, but right now I'd like to see the creation of another /b/. Too many just use 4chan for /b/ and having tens of thousands of them packed into one board is just asking for trouble. This was an even better idea when boards were on separate servers, e.g. img, cgi, nov, etc. Now they're all on boards.4chan.org

All non-sex boards and seem to be doing fine and have no problems with people requesting on them.

The anime/manga sex boards. From what I've seen, seem to be doing fine aswell when it comes to requests on them.

Are the only real places where requesting is a problem.

Not fully sure where /gif/ board stands. But it seem to be in the good area with handling requests on it.

Kinda funny to find this old topic still here and alive.
I still think /r/ should be removed or atleast only be used for the porn boards, and then allow people to request on the other non-porn boards.

make /r/ to a pure porn related request board. The other things can be requested on their own board. /r/ can be used (and is used) only for "What is the name of the girl on that (nude) pic". On the other side requesting wallpapers on the /wg/ board for a specific topic sounds like a good idea, because there are sometimes good wallpapers as answer that could be on /wg/ itself.
