What are the different ban and suspension types?
Suspensions are temporary. A ban is permanent and cannot be lifted. You may receive a notification email depending on the reason for the ban or suspension.
System bans / suspensions
If a PlayStation system has been banned or suspended, no local user accounts on the system will be able to sign in to PlayStation Network. This means the system cannot be used for online gaming through PlayStation Network, accessing PlayStation Store or managing accounts. Individual accounts can be used to access PlayStation Network on other PlayStation systems, provided the specific accounts have not been banned or suspended.
Account bans/suspensions
An account-specific ban or suspension prevents that account from signing in to PlayStation Network on any PlayStation system or other device.
