The functionality to ban devs via VRCX should be removed to prevent users from getting themselves banned.

The mute and block buttons should not be visible for VRChat developer accounts. The API does not allow us to take those actions against devs.

Description

Currently it is possible to block (or mute) VRChat devs with VRCX.

This is not possible in VRChat, as the mute and block buttons will be grayed out.

Blocking a dev via VRCX may thus lead to an in-game ban, manually or automatically. Which, uh, is bad! That functionality should probably be removed to protect users.

The existence of the mute and block buttons for developers of VRChat may be confusing for some users! I was worried about users getting banned by using VRCX, but it seems like the buttons have no effect. As such, they can be safely removed 🎉
