If the Scratch Team bans someone's account permanently, they should let the banned user download their projects, so they don't lose all of the work they've put into their projects.

Semi-Support. Would be useful for people that DID NOT get banned because of a inappropriate project, but someone who did can download their inappropriate project onto another kids site..

Good point! Maybe the banned user can download projects as long as the project is FE, or maybe even NFE, but not bad enough to get removed.

I'm thinking the inappropriate project would probably be deleted by the ST altogether, so it wouldn't be in the user's project list. And since it wouldn't be in that list, the user wouldn't be able to download it – but all the projects that weren't inappropriate would still be there to be downloaded.Good point!

It’s easy, just don’t do anything to get yourself banned
Or have a friend/ alternate account that you can use to download the projects

The ST shouldn't be obligated to continue to serve those who refuse to appropriately use the ST's service.

Permabans are extremely rare and are only served in the most extreme cases (plus you're allowed to appeal them, just word your report correctly and admit to your faults.)
Either download all your projects and save them as a backup beforehand or use Scratch as it was meant to be used.

Semi-support.
To receive a permanent ban you have to either do something extremely bad or commit multiple bad offences- you probably wouldn't do this on accident. I feel that if you wanted to use scratch and make projects you should be willing to respect the rules in place, and if that is something you feel you cannot do you should just use the offline editor. On top of that, a lot of users who get permanent bans are troll or spam accounts made with the intention of breaking the rules, and likely wouldn't care for their projects anyway. Plus, the knowledge that you lose your hard work if you disrespect the rules enough to get completely banned is a good motivator to follow them, and seems like a reasonable punishment for someone who did enough to get themselves permanently kicked off the site.
However, I understand that this is easier said than done for a lot of users, especially considering scratch's target audience. Children aren't known for being skilled rule-followers or that good at managing their feelings, which is a key part of avoiding alerts and bans.
I'd say I lean towards no support on this one: If you want to have your projects, don't get yourself permanently banned.

No one's silly enough to trust the cloud servers to store the projects they're working on… …right? If the Scratch Team bans someone's account permanently, they should let the banned user download their projects, so they don't lose all of the work they've put into their projects.

I feel like this suggestion handles this problem in a better way: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/287079/
