I usually don't get too salty about these things, but that seemed uncalled for, especially since I'm on their side.

This is true, but I would have thought that removing the comments with a warning would have sufficed. A ban seems excessive.

Self-Promos tend to be insta-ban due to how spammed and intrusive they used to be and still are. It's one of those "everyone gets the same treatment" situations.

I would agree for a first offense but we're only seeing OP's side of the story. There might be history or context that OP isn't including because it would be less sympathetic (which is literally the only reason to make this post).
