So I noticed that there was a new addition to twitch chat. Finally they implemented a feature so that mods or higher could see who timed out/banned/unbanned another person. But I just checked my raw irc logs and they dont show up there. The tags are still the same and no notice is being sent. So I would guess this is websocket feature? Or is it just not rolled out properly?

Unless this is BTTV addition but I doubt it…

This is available over IRC if you’ve asked for the `tags` capability. Please see this thread: [[BETA] Timeout reasons & durations](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/beta-timeout-reasons-durations/6113)

You can see in the snippet I added that I do have tags capability. But the messages of “banned by” are added automatically now. At least for me while using twitch website. This is sure a new addition. At least I think so. Also same message is passed for unbanning:

I tried it without BTTV and these messages weren’t showing up. I was getting regular “Was banned” message. So it seems it’s a BTTV addition? But how does that work then? I don’t see any messages being passed in IRC that would indicate who banned who without them actually giving a reason.

That information is available over the PubSub interface, not IRC. More information can be found here: [In-line broadcaster chat mod logs](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/in-line-broadcaster-chat-mod-logs/7281)

(Make sure you read the entire thread since syntax such as topic names changes)
