In my experience, it depends on how you respond to the unpleasant emails received. I had basically the same profile up for years with only minor tweaks here and there with no problems, viewed and discussed with moderators over that time. But, within 2 weeks of the day I decided I'd let myself be rude in return to the worst of the emails I received that my profile was forced hidden. Assuming the OP is talking about forced locking/hiding of a profile as it's usually done and not speaking of what happens *after* a mod gets a look at the situation, it's not done by mods: the message received when the profile is shut down is very clear in stating that it was pulled by the automated system due to too many user reportings and will be checked by a human when they get a chance. Once I started telling the rude and creepy clearly where to go, the automated system was quick to pull me. Took a couple of months to have it checked by a mod to where I could edit it or unhide it again. Again, the profile that was shut down by the reporting system was the same one I had asked mods about previously to make sure I was conforming to site guidelines and had been viewed socially a good number of times over the years with no issue. Unless there was some amazingly coincidental timing and/or a new set of mods put into place at once, it comes down to the creeps don't like being told they're creeps. OP, while it's frustrating, it's understandable. This is a free site, it's a report-based system with a very few mods to deal with the two sides of the site... Even in major paid sites such things can be problematic. If you got pulled by the automated system, wait it out and work with the mods to fix any problem if they feel one exists once they get to checking on it. If that already happened and/or the mods decided to outright delete you themselves, then I'd just suggest taking a look at what you were doing and saying and see if you accidentally did cross the line somewhere and avoid it in the future. If you can't think of what it was you'd be better off emailing the mod who deleted you, or any of them, instead of complaining here on the boards. They tend to be pretty reasonable and friendly if you just come asking how you can work things out or get clarification.
