Cool Rocks

I feel like the pic only, cool rocks vibe is great. Just people sharing their rocks.

I enjoy seeing the photos of cool rocks. I think it's fine if there's also an article to go along with the rock, but the post should primarily be about the photo of the cool rock itself.

Like, if there's a cool looking rock that came out of a volcano, and if there's an article specifically about how it came out of the volcano, that's great! But the post needs to be about the cool looking rock itself.

Maybe the post itself is just the picture of the rock, and OP should add the science stuff to a reply?

Yes! Give me rock facts!

I think that if a place is called a Cool Rock place, then some news about cool rocks would be nice to have! Just not the icebergs please - they are really cool, but they are technically not rocks.

I feel like we are not large enough yet to split cool rocks from cool rock news. Let's see how the community grows

I think it’s okay with no rule unless it becomes a problem. Mostly cool rocks interspersed with occasional articles sounds nice. Cool rocks with accompanying articles when appropriate sounds nice too.

I like the idea of cool rocks being the general geology comm, including news and research on the subject. The venn diagram of subscribers to both is likely to be a circle, or damn near to it. Like you said, why have yet another news comm?

I think too many rules ruin a community like a bad HOA.
