I presume you were banned because you use FR to get hits on your website?
This was the first time I ever cited my website, because I do not see many science topics of this nature.
I really have no idea why I was banned. I even logged in after a long time of not even visiting FR just to see if I had any posts. Then, despite not posting a single thing, I log in months later (to respond to this post) and find I was banned.
Thank you for asking the question (in the form of a guess)instead of assuming or stating it as fact. I respect that.
