He was banned because as a whole the idea of alteration is frowned. He didn't specifically do anything on here cause the banishment.
I don't know from first hand, but I have seen people mention that when wrinkles are removed they can come back later down the road since the paper is already ruined.
The only alteration that seems "ok" to some (about 50-50 still) is soaking to remove residue using water. Wrinkle removing is probably the second most accepted, but still I don't see as many ok with that as they are with soaking.
As mentioned it can cause some heated debates within the hobby. Particularly for those that get left holding a card that was altered and it caused further damage after it was acquired.
