Audioz is widely regarded as the best place for music production software. Why do they delete posts? (sh.itjust.works)

For example, the following had been posted and I saved them for later, but now they're gone, and searching for the same doesn't result in them.

I can only think of 2 things but would love clarification if any one knows. 1. they found a virus or something malicious in a release, or 2. they got a dmca or copyright takedown

Both seem somewhat unlikely R2R has a really good reputation, and there's enough on audioz that if copyright stuff could get anything taken down, the site wouldn't exist at all.

I'm fairly certain some pages were removed due to copyright. Someone published a download for FL Studio 21, and that got taken down, where people within request posts were telling others to find it elsewhere.

I found the same torrents on vstorrents and several comments reporting viruses on the releases. Could be why they were taken down from audioz. I'ts sus cuz I see lots of people showing heuristics of viruses being caught by avs on audioz and being told it's a false positive, so for them to remove something is pretty sus

Maybe but there are no FL 21 releases on AudioZ, so I'm assuming it's not the individual upload but they're just not allowing it
