On July 16, the proposal a ban on rock ID questions was proposed. After two weeks, this proposal has 15 upvotes and 0 downvotes. The answers are supportive of the ban. Clearly, there is a community consensus to ban rock identification questions.

As of today, 2019-07-30, rock identification questions questions are off-topic.

A Google Search for "identify my rock" brings users to our site. We don't want that. Therefore, most or all old rock identification questions will be closed and deleted.

We will add a custom close reason linking to this post.

Do we want to retain any old rock identification questions? If so, which ones and based on what criteria?
