>>4034587>All I can say is that I spent a minute bitching about rampant gear threads on the board and every thread I made was deletedWell maybe if you tried reporting the threads instead of whingeing about it on the board we might have better success
>>4034592>Photography cannot exist without the gearA certain amount of gear is unfortunately inevitable though most of it should go into the gear thread, the immature trolling is not. That just diminishes the value of the board.
The internet is awash with places that talk about gear, sites that talk about photography, issues surrounding and other things that are pertinent to photographers are few and far between.
/p/ could be really good but anything of value gets buried in a quagmire of shitposts, most of which are started by the same person, and an endless stream of "what shall I buy/look at what I just bought" type threads.
Why would any newbie stick around when all the board has to offer is a poor quality version of what they can find everywhere else.
