If TW is so arbitrary in their banning of people, don't you think they will do the same when no reason for payment is specified? I looked at their business model and they have an interest in a balanced cash flow between countries in order to keep their own exchange fees low. I suspect it was this imbalance of cash flow that draw their attraction to Bisq and might also be the reason they banned people (not just because they hate bitcoin). They well continue to look for accounts showing a strange cash flow and users selling high volumes on Bisq will still trigger that. As you suspected before, if you have one big account that triggers investigation I do not think they will stop banning/warning all the people that traded with this account if every single transaction has no reason for payment.
Anyway those are separate issues. For SEPA transfers it was certainly good to have the reason for payment field for the following reasons:

- The account number is not always visible so we have to rely on the name for verification
- Name and or account may not match because a different account is used to send money
- It makes associating payments to trades easier
- It makes charge backs harder
- It generates some information at the moment of accepting the offer which makes triangle attacks more difficult
- It might be less suspicious than having none. (I feel more likely to be investigated why I receive 10 payments a day without reason of payment, when they thought before "Ah, ok this guy is selling stuff on the internet".
