It is because they are in fact getting spammed to hell. They just won a $700-$800 million dollar lawsuit against a spammer. This is what happens when you open up your platform so much, they are just experiencing growing pains. Hopefully Microsoft will do some good through their partnership and help them refine their spam filters.

I was just joking
I sent out a note to my fan page and the same one to my group the other day and it came back saying essentially "Quit it or your account will be banned for spamming"
Needless to say, I didn't really do anything on FB for the next couple days to make sure I didn't get blocked. Seemed a bit extreme though, and I think they need more of an intelligent system put in place.
Facebook is having a lot of problems though on the admin/corporate side. Will be interesting to see how long they will last, or what kinds of changes will be occuring over the next fiscal year or so.

Oh man, imagine the social turmoil if FB closed? So many people would be walking around like zombies, not knowing what to do with themselves.

If that were to happen, would everyone go back to MySpace or would something new need to be created?

Most people love 'free' sites until restraints are enforced that prevent them from taking further advantage of the obvious perks. They give you an inch, so don't take a mile and then whine about it. I'm not singling you out - just saying that a few bad apples ruin it for everyone else with how much spam they pump through fb.
I figure that after they get a bunch of messages reported as spam from a particular user that they flag that user as potentially having commercial motives -- and then anything after that they figure is not worth their time to bother with and then just lock/block the account. You have to remember it eats up staff time to deal with complaints and it's not worth the cost involved to get back to you since they just assume you'll sign back up again or give up.
However, I bet if you had bought some Facebook ad space that your account wouldn't have been blocked - or at least - not as easily.

Wow... it sounds like a jedi-master type of line. OK O-B-Wan-Shaya, lets do it... LOL! Be careful though (sounds of heavy Darth Vader in breathing the background), I'm an extremely fast learner and may become a jedi-master myself!
