Craigslist may have been reacting to user flags. Depending on the number of them, user flags (even if without foundation) will result in inactivation of an account. Such holds however rarely persist for 3 months, unless the flags proliferate over that time. It's possible that Craigslist discovered you were violating its policies, which unfortunately are not all that easy to discern. I'd suggest reading the section on Restrictions in my guide to Craigslist.
