Description

Context

Banning users that are no longer connected to the server.

Description

Currently Mumble has no way to ban users that have left the server. Client should locally store all required info of users that are in chat history (including auto announcements like someone joining channel) to allow right click ban option. Currently nothing happens if you right click someone's nickname after the left the server. This should change.

Research direction
Investigate Mumble's current user management and banning system. Look at the client's chat history storage and server's ban functionality. Consider modifying the client to store user information of disconnected users and adding a ban option in the context menu. Refer to existing banning mechanisms in the codebase.
