Google won't tell you why you were banned

You can't know for sure. You can click on the 'User Content and Conduct' and see a list of possible reasons why you've been temporarily banned, but you would only be guessing what the cause is.

The real mechanics behind Google+ ban policy

The real reason you were banned on Google+  is because other people on Google+ reported you or flagged you. Google's current Google+ banning system is designed around majority rules. It is designed to eliminate those who annoy the majority. If your comments are nonconformist, or unconventional, you will get flagged and banned from Google+. There's no one you can contact at Google to resolve this. There's no contest page...

I've tested this using up 2 of my verification phone numbers in the process. I simply found controversial subjects like abortion, taboos, and freedom of religion and used a counter viewpoint to the posters. I was not inflammatory in any way, even though the posts were always usually inflammatory.  I made  about 20-30 posts, each with unique content ranging from 1-3 paragraphs sometimes including links to a research paper I sited.  I got banned the next day. I repeated the process on two accounts, so I know this is how Google's Google+ system works contrary to what Google implies on their User Content and Conduct page.

A lot of people say that Google+ is better than Facebook, but based on this mob mentality majority rule flagging system, I don't think Google+ is any better than Facebook.
