Timeout limit in TMI

[tetyys]

@BarryCarlyon

TMI? Do you mean TMI.js or something else? (Just for clarify as often people mean TMI.js and say TMI)

TMI, the twitch messaging interface

@BarryCarlyon

You have been timed out from chat or you trying to time someone out? Last I checked Twitch chat itself has no limit on a Timeout.

does not really matter who is timing out who, any timeout has a limit of 2 weeks, it even says so on command help:

@BarryCarlyon

Get a programmer and build a bot to automate this instead.
And if you are gonna ban someone for that long, (six months) then a ban fits better anyway, and create a way for users to apply for a unban.

This is a limitation workaround - why should everyone build a workaround when root problem is in twitch TMI?

@BarryCarlyon

Six months the user isn’t likely to come back anyway

I doubt that, there are definetely users that have been banned in a channel in time when streamer is angry and can’t write in chat after years and years.
