Why did Facebook deactivate my account?

I can't login to Facebook today and a message appears saying they have deactivated my account! This was done without warning or justification. I play Mafia Wars, but so do lots of people so I hope that's not the reason.

Requests for more information

I wish I knew the answer myself. There are so many reasons Facebook might deactivate an account, and they unfortunately do not typically let people know why their account has been deactivated. This is very unfortunate since most people who have had their account deactivated have not intentionally done anything malicious, they just did something that triggered something in Facebook's system.

Here are a few links I found helpful when researching why my account was deactivated. Of course, I am still waiting on Facebook to reply to me and reactivate my account!

Well I can't be sure but apparently my own account got disabled because I sent too many friend invites too fast ( I also played MW and then I played Sorority Life too and Vampire Wars) by using mass add trains to add more players to my games... And unfortunately, they said to me the decision is final... Apparently ( to them at least) using mass add trains equals harassing innocent people...
