From what I’ve experienced: Whispers reduce the amount of spam in chat (This is not being used it super large channels, but it’s enough where having a bot message chat every time would clutter chat).
I think we’re straying away from the original point of the post: Why is this happening, and how do I prevent this behavior or whitelist my bot? I have already made the design decision that I would like to whisper my users, at the request of the broadcaster who’s commissioning me to make this bot.
This seems like a fairly frequent issue (Seeing many other posts), but the lack of twitch responses makes me a bit nervous. I understand in all fairness they have to be vague in some aspects as to not allow spammers to abuse the system, but these are legitimate people who are being stifled by this system.
