Is there a point to removing or editing a question that has been posted for most of the day and has many answers?

I’m referring to a NSFW that was posted yesterday. The thread was up for hours and hours, and it had many responses. What was the point of removing the question after so long of a time? The question wasn’t vague, obviously, or there wouldn’t have been so many posts. The question met the fluther guidelines for hours and I’m sure that at least one mod reviewed the question over the long span of time.

So, was the question removed by one mod who didn’t approve of the question, or what? I do not see the point of removing a thread that all of fluther saw for most of the day.

Can someone explain.
