My announcement thread for C64 Chain (an altcoin) in the Announcements (Altcoins) board has been deleted multiple times over the past week. Each time, I receive no notification or PM explaining which rule was violated.

I have reviewed the forum rules and guidelines and I believe the thread complies with them:
- Posted in Announcements (Altcoins)
- Written in English
- No referral links, no giveaways, no link shorteners
- Substantial content (specifications, technical details, source code links, FAQ)
- No duplicate posting across boards
- Only bumped once per 24 hours

I contacted a moderator who told me it was not them and suggested it might be a global moderator.

Could a staff member please let me know what rule I am breaking so I can correct it? I am happy to modify the thread to comply with the rules.

Thank you.

It was probably because they suspected it to contain links to malicious files?

I found this report by @$crypto$ - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182222.msg66417277#msg66417277

If this is the case, then you are a bit lucky that your account has not been permanently banned. They usually ban accounts that are reported in that thread.

Is it actually malware though? Only a small set of vendors on VirusTotal flagged it as malicious. He is promoting mining software for a fork of Monero. Even legitimate Monero software like Monero GUI get flagged by antivirus programs sometimes, especially older versions. This is what getmonero.org has to say:

Why is my antivirus/firewall flagging the Monero software i just downloaded as malware?

After you have downloaded the Monero software (GUI and CLI alike), your antivirus or firewall may flag the executables as malware. Some antiviruses only warn you about the possible menace, others go as far as silently removing your downloaded wallet / daemon. This likely happens because of the integrated miner, which is used for mining and for block verification. Some antiviruses may erroneously consider the miner as dangerous software and act to remove it.

The problem is being discussed and solutions are being elaborated. In the meantime, if you get a warning from your antivirus, make sure the software you downloaded is legitimate (see the guides linked below), then add an exception for it in your antivirus, so that it won't get removed or blocked. If you need assistance, feel free to contact the community.
