Because GamerGate was brewing to become the new chanology, which would have been a disaster for the whole website.

As for 8chan I guess it's because its address was being spammed constantly on every board and it's also considered advertising.

That would be grounds for banning advertisment, not mention. As it stands, at least as of a couple months ago, even using the words "gamergate" or "8chan" earned you a three day automatic global ban.

If the original chanology wasn't a disaster, why would gamergate be one?
