An update for the delayed bot verification request process

Yes, it tends to happen that bot sends more than 3 whispers in the span of 1 second

If bursts are your issue, implement a message queue.

I don’t have a very big community myself, but in some bigger ones bots whisper over 50-60 users in the span of 24 hours with plenty different messages, such as: warnings for violating channel rules with timeout/ban explanation to the offender, updates about moderation reports that were made by trusted non-moderators or even replying to moderators, who execute commands such as “nuke” within whispers.

So these rate limits currently present are not sufficient and it makes it impossible to set up and host another instances of these bots in any bigger communities with active communities without risking bot banned from whispers for 24 hours for no apparent reason.

Whispers are not designed for this sort of purpose, so if you’re trying to force a solution together using it then you’ll run into the limitations of the Whisper system. Rather than open up the whisper system for potential abuse by expanding rate lmiits, and having to have the devs apply for and wait for rate limit increases, it makes sense to use/develop a solution that’s more fit for purpose as many of the larger streams/events or even small streamers with structured moderation teams already do.
