Becuase lead mods can only delete comments on user cards that other mods have made.

Mods cannot moderate regular mods chat messages

Additionally this is third party support and this is a first party issue.

When you type `/user username` in a chat the usercard is what pops up

Then you’ve found a first party issue that we cannot assist with. please contact twitch support. This is the third party developers forum for help with third party integrations

Also you are checking for MOD COMMENTS on a user not “chat messages”?
