~~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 🎉
