How come if a project gets mass reported, it gets taken down for no reason?

If so many people report it, it may be inappropriate so its best not to keep it up any longer without a moderators choice.

If a project was so bad that multiple people reported it in a short span of time, it's better to take it down automatically than just leave it up until a moderator checks it.

But some users can use alternate accounts to report a project, as a result, having it taken down, right?

The ST can check if someone used alts. Anyway, if it isn't a legitimate report, all the alts will receive an alert, and their report reputation will go down.

It's because the bot does not know if it is really bad or not. Once a project gets mass-reported, the bot will just take it down even if it is fine.
Need anymore information?

That is not 100% correct since as Valtren said “The ST can check if someone used alts. Anyway, if it isn't a legitimate report, all the alts will receive an alert, and their report reputation will go down.” A more detailed essay about false reporting that is similar can be read here
