Thank you for the info @AenoaLabs, it’s very useful!

I know this feature would be considered spam or advertising by a lot of people, so I was planning to add a checkbox which enables these automatic chat messages. (unticked by default)
The feature would be used primarily to notify the streamer that their channel is being featured on my site, but maybe sending a PM would work better. Is it possible to do that using the same technique? (connecting to IRC and sending a message to the user instead of the room)
Also, what does the channel moderator Bot look for when banning messages/users? Is it posting ‘unauthorized’ links in the chat?
Thank you for your input
