Bing Randomly De-Indexing Websites?

I have been seeing bing de-index several of my websites and I cannot see why. Some have different hosting and themes, some are wordpress, some are PHP, some are brand new with no links, some are older with some links, all original content, I cannot find a trace as to why. And I mean de-indexed, not falling out of serps and just need more links etc. Anyone else seeing this?

    Seems like there were some common footprints which lead to several of your websites being de-indexed.

    Well, wordpress uses php.....

    You don't explain a lot either. Like new site. Like today new, or newish?
    Maybe that new site was not even indexed in the first place yet.

    Did you change hosts? Themes? ____?

    I would say that bing is not prone to deindex stuff the way google is, so
    start looking at hosting, server, robots.txt, etc. issues.

    Bing is notorious for being blocked in some common cases because they
    have no idea what they are doing: Read, they do stupid things with their
    bots.

    try this Fetch as Bingbot - Bing Webmaster Tools

    Thanks for responding, sorry to be short..

    One of them has been the same hosting/theme since it was built 4-5 years ago.

    The others are newer, 6 months old built on a WordPress multi site platform which I thought was the problem to begin with..

    One is brand new this month, 15 pages, stand alone wordpress completely different hosting. I put the site in bing webmaster tools, they crawled it, all pages were indexed, I came back days later to check it and I did site:www.abc.com and it said "some results have been removed"

    I asked the person who built the older site what they thought and they said it had zero to do with hosting and theme which I didn't buy completely.

    I have narrowed it down to possible spoofed IP addresses, not sure that's it yet?

    At first I assumed the Wordpress Multi site platform was the problem or had some kind of foot print until the older stand alone site was effected..
