I have an issue with sending whispers via irc socket. I am sending the whisper from my own user, not a “bot”. PRIVMSG #jtv :/w user message The above command doesn’t work when sending to a user I haven’t already whispered in the past. If I whisper someone via the browser, initialising the whisper…

Perhaps this is an issue with the privacy option to block whispers from strangers? “Block whispers from people you don’t follow” in the Security & Privacy part of Twitch settings. But ye personally speaking if the person issued a command through chat the bot should just reply through the same chat…

Replying to public chat commands in a whisper is poor UX for both the user who used the command and others who read the chat. “They’re using commands, but not getting replies?” “I used it but didn’t get a reply?” People often don’t see they’ve b…

If you make an IRC client, you should be using the documented way of handling whispers, pubsub.
