Ignore don’t apply to chat messages when you are a moderator in the channel. That way if you ignore a user to block whispers it doesn’t hinder your ability to moderate a channel that user might be in.
The change was put into place when people had concerns over users pming mods to get them to ignore them, then spamming the channel after the mods ignore them.
Bots do fall outside the spectrum, but perhaps it’s time to start investigating whisper commands?
You can install BTTV (Better Twitch TV) which is a browser addon. Next, you can black list words so you won’t see them. I think if you set moobot and nightbot for example it should work. I am not aware if BTTV only looks at the message but username as well, but it’s worth a shot.
Yeah… Just had a bad morning and went to ignore a mod for a bit. It is idiotic of twitch and it’s developers to have removed the ignore functionality in this regard. I should be able to ignore anyone and everyone at any time if they are disrupting my enjoyment of this website. I am a moderator. I want to ignore other moderators. Why can I not ignore people? I do not need to ignore the people who whisper me, because I ban them from the channel. You’re trying to circumvent common sense and it is fucking stupid. Sorry.
Download BTTV. In the blacklist field type (username) with parenthesis.
You cannot “ban” people from whispers. That’s what ignoring is for. So if you ignore someone for being nasty to you in whispers, you can still moderate their channel messages.
It is my opinion that if you are ignoring the channel bot(s) or it’s moderators you are doing a bad job as a moderator. As how can you check that everything related to the channel is working and ignoring other mods means moderators can repeat themselves…
And you want to ban people from the channel who whisper you when a whisper is basically a PM and has no channel context… Sure there are cases but this sounds blankety
