What is the definition of "ban"/"banned"?

I was just wondering, because if “banned” means you can never ever get back on scratch or “banned” as in you can't make any more projects. big difference.

If you're banned, your account can't access any part of the site until the ban gets lifted.

The desc is not clear so i'll just answer the title
The verb to ban means to forbid something from being or happening. The word can also be used as a noun. A school board might put a ban on all books that refer to Jefferson's mistress if they don't want anyone reading about her.

The Scratch Team has the power to ban people when they break the community guidelines. Usually, the account is banned for a few days or a week, after which the account owner can continue to use it, and the ban is lifted. In more extreme scenarios, an account can be banned permanently, and you'll have to appeal to the Scratch Team in order for the account to be used by “lifting” the ban.
