Cool Rocks

Asking folks so I can clarify the rules.

Rocks and minerals are pretty fascinating, quite a few discussions pop up in the comments about geology — We could all learn together with some science peppered in.

At the same time, I really like the vibe of mostly sharing rocks, encouraging people to go rock hounding for the hell of it. ~And~ ~I~ ~already~ ~have~ ~three~ ~news~ ~coms.~

Alternatively, we could partner with or make a geology com for the science and news side of things, keeping this community focused on the rocks.

The questions:

• Should we include articles, discourage them, or have a rule against them?

• If we don't want articles, should we partner with or create a partner community for articles and science?

edit: I'll leave this up for about a day and amend the rules sometime over the weekend based on vibes and feelings, not going by votes or volume. I can always change things around again if we're not happy with the rules.

edit: Thanks everyone. I changed the sidebar text to encourage cool rock posting, with facts and articles in the body.

Feel free to keep discussing the cool rocks community if you have ideas.
