How about instead of suggesting all kinds of nonsense workarounds, someone actually looks into this and fixes it. Right now mod status is constantly being added/removed… about every minute.
When connecting via an IRC client, this happens…
[22:31] * jtv gives channel operator status to deezjavu
[22:31] * jtv gives channel operator status to peccyz
[22:32] * jtv removes channel operator status from deezjavu
[22:32] * jtv removes channel operator status from peccyz
[22:41] * jtv gives channel operator status to deezjavu
[22:42] * jtv gives channel operator status to peccyz
[22:42] * jtv removes channel operator status from deezjavu
The IRC client uses the following command when connecting:
raw CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership
As also mentioned, users actually in chat (can see them sending messages) are missing from the user list… then show up again, etc…
This started happening a few days ago.
