Did you delete my thread on Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls ?

[Tom Boehm]

I'm not mad if you did. I just want to learn more about how this forum works. I was just ranting/blowing off steam about a high toll bill I got from my Hershey trip. I think the last count was about 40 responses in less than 24 hours. I wish I could get that response when I try to start conversations about old car topics. 

 

Actually I'm glad you deleted the thread (if you did) because it started to veer away from the original intent. Is there a way I could do that voluntarily on my end?

I would bet it started trending towards the realm of Political, generally a no-no.

Yup.  The entire thread broke the forum rules in multiple ways:

• Not antique car related (regardless that it had "Hershey" in the title). By your own admission you were ranting.
• Clickbait
• Politics after the fact (but easily predicable it was gonna go down that path)
• Sways off topic (after the fact)

ALSO: See Golden Rule below.
