Sigh. I cheered too early. While what I said above did make the “slow mode” stuff work, it still doesn’t say anything whatsoever when the bot is banned or when the bot tries to speak when it is banned. Nothing. This in spite of the fact that it now sees the NOTICEs like:
blabla NOTICE #blabla :This room is now in slow mode. You may send messages every 120 seconds.
What could possibly be wrong at this point? Obviously, it receives NOTICEs now, but still none for bans or when trying to speak when banned. This is really making me frustrated…
