[h3]Easier Player Blocking WIP[/h3]

This popup menu will show up when clicking on players on the scoreboard or chat. We plan to expand this popup to other parts of the game such as the voice chat and directly clicking on player models.

This will also have a "Permissions" option while you are in condos to access condo permissions faster.

We also plan to add condo owner options as a popup like this when you right click on players. So you can easily teleport to / from and issue out kick / bans without having to open the profile each time.
