I guess the biggest problem I have with all this is that I violated no rule. After the incident, I looked for a rule against posting pictures of a car and could not find one. I asked the moderator for the rule and was told there is not one. The moderator is attempting to keep the forum in line with the spirit of the site. I can sort of understand and get behind that in a way. If there is a “guideline” we are to follow then there is some leeway in the application of the guidelines. Posting a single picture and mentioning a “car” when it is a 1928 Ford Model A should be given some grace. I would be more understanding if we were discussing a 2012 Ford Focus and I was going on about it. To remove the entire post rather than just the picture AND all because of a violation of spirit seems heavy handed and also not in the “spirit” of the site.
I would just repost what you did (without the pic of the car) and move on. It doesn't do any good to complain about a rule (or "guideline".) Yes, the whole post was deleted, but that's water under the bridge.
