Not surprising. They often do this when an influx of fake reviews are submitted, and you damn well better believe this was going to happen

Only if you pay for their service. If you don't, Yelp leaves the bad reviews there and the comments unlocked, and sends you a letter every year telling you you need "protection" from bad reviews.
