An update for the delayed bot verification request process

Severely limited refers to no whisper functionality over irc whatsoever.
If it’s highly recommended not to use whispers on a bot, then the documentation should be updated. As it stands, I have many bots with whisper access, all of which have zero issues whispering people.

Now that these dumb new bot rules have come into effect, the whisper system that worked perfectly for all of my bots, now no longer works due to the bots being declined from verification and new accounts being straight up blocked from using whispers.

The abuse that came from the verification system could’ve easily have been prevented by simply looking at an account’s activity on twitch prior to giving them verification.
