I’ve studied the IRC output and there is no indication when the bot is banned/silenced/whatever, that I can see. I’ve also endlessly searched the API documentation without finding anything relevant (as always seems to be the case with the Twitch API for some mysterious reason)… I don’t want to wast…

Your bot shouldn’t be joining channels without invitation in the first place, especially if you intend to send unsolicited messages to chat. If you continue you to do so you should be less worried about bans on specific channels and more about a Twitch suspension for a spam bot.

That’s purely your own cynical speculation, and not reality. It’s not a “spam bot”. Any kind of “fun” or “surprise” bot would be impossible to make if you need an “invitation” first. That defeats the whole point.

Actually it’s not speculation, if you search this forum you’ll see that it’s not uncommon for many bots to have run into Twitch’s anti-spam measures, most often for doing the sort of thing you intend to do as channels frequently report unsolicited bots for ToS violation due to spam.

Well, nobody would ever know that my bot exists if an “invitation” had to be made first. That’s my point. I’m sure you’re right about many, many people abusing Twitch’s API and Twitch in general, but I’m not one of those, and I always seem to be bundled together with malicious actors, which feels re…

If people don’t know your bot exists then you have to market it first, those who want it can request it. If you join the my channel, or any of the channels I work with, then yes your bot will be banned and reported, and this is a policy that many channels on Twitch follow as bots that send messages …

Always the same attitude… “You have to market it”… “those who want it can request it”… “your spam”… What does that even mean? You assume that I have unlimited funding to “market” a god damn bot which was made for fun and brings joy and doesn’t send any URLs or commercial messages?! I don’t have one…

You can market without money, even more when you are in a niche. You say it yourself, it’s an “obscure game” so it’s not one with thousands of streamers. Contact streamer that play the game often, join their stream, talk with them, and let them see that your bot can have value. If you think marketi…

@BarryCarlyon Well, I’ve now made a series of experiments. I made my bot join my own channel, banned it, and then attempted to send another message to my channel. There is no special USERNOTICE or any kind of response from the server, and I capture all incoming lines and display them while debugging…

You did enable command and tag capabilities?

How do I check if my bot is banned by a given streamer?

It’s a regular NOTICE not a USERNOTICE.

Something is very strange about your IRC system
