That’s not reliable for knowing if you are a moderator at any point after you join. And you’ll have no way to query going forward (since /mods is going away and the API endpoint is arbitrarily restricted). It’s better to be reactive anyway.
Presumably, that’s because you were "/unmod"ed in between. Otherwise (e.g., the message was already deleted), I don’t know why s/he should care.
Well, I was able to do it, so stop complaining about the inconvenience.
Essentially, Twitch claims that removing functionality somehow makes things more convenient. Here, someone has pointed out how it did the opposite. You acknowledge that you had to take an extra 3 hours that wouldn’t have been required, but disagree that it was inconvenient???
No one is arguing demize’s approach or code is perfect, nor is this the right thread to discuss it, but it worked. This change required additional effort.
