Hidden thread

Sometimes a thread disappears and there's a message from Mumsnet 'this thread is hidden while Mumsnet take a look behind the scenes'. Usually the threads then just end.

Anyway, AIBU to find it confusing why it takes such a long time for Mumsnet to 'look behind the scenes'?

There was a thread I was enjoying yesterday which disappeared while Mumsnet looked into it. They are still looking into it, it would seem.

I mean, what exactly are they looking at? Surely it takes just a couple of minutes to look at the posters history and determine if they r a genuine poster or whatever?

What's the hold up? What exactly are Mumsnet looking at that takes days??

...and also, I just really hate it when threads get pulled or disappear. I don't care if the thread isn't genuine! Once you have started engaging with a thread it's so annoying when it gets pulled. What's the point? People can tell if it's not genuine and it's up to the reader surely if they want to turn away from it or keep engaging. Why pull threads people are reading and engaging with? So frustrating!!!

It's almost always the threads I'm enjoying most of finding most fascinating that get pulled. Grrr...
