Hello, working on chatbot and i have some questions.  
I have read all the posts, but I still do not find the answer, or posts what i read was out of date.  
In irc channel I can detect timeout:  
1. Reason for ban and who has given the ban is still unavailable or is there any higher privilege for this?  
2. Is there a way to detect unban, or is it also inaccessible?

Thank you and have a nice day! 🙂

If that user is the broadcaster or a mod of the room they will receive messages containing a type of chat\_login\_moderation or chat\_channel\_moderation as well as some associated …
