Yes, that's exactly it. It was a post in an off-topic thread with
nothing but a link to a commercial product, so in fact it is
indistinguishable from spam. It is also very similar to the
common setup where someone posts an off-topic but otherwise
unspammy question (generally seeking advice or a product
recommendation), and is followed-up by actual spam. It was
flagged by someone too, which is how it got deleted. All facts
considered it's a bit hard to call this a false positive :)
notna: You are now unbanned, but I suggest to avoid doing this
again.
