2. That's it! Member is either banned or unbanned.
- After a Member is "Banned" their status will show within the product profile as BANNED and the option to "Add to Queue" will be hidden, preventing them from being added to any queue.
- Within the Dispatch section when a member is searched for, the "Banned" icon should show and cannot be added to the queue. When trying to add to the queue, the member info page will pop up.
