 * There are many plugins in the WordPress market that use the posts table to store
   temporary or segmented data, this is because WordPress does not supports the 
   creation of separated tables to process data independently, plugin/theme developers
   usually hook the predefined WordPress functions to insert their data in the same
   table as the posts and pages but set a flag in one of the columns to differentiate
   them so they do not appear in the normal interfaces, but they still appear as_“
   posts”_ in the actions triggered by WordPress and monitored by the plugin, so
   for example, if one of those plugins is creating a temporary entry in the posts
   table _(like contact form or feedback plugins do)_ they will appear and dissapear
   in the audit logs like you saw. Please check the _“Ignore Alerts”_ in the plugin’
   settings page to disable the alerts for specific post-types like this one.
