Whispers don't show when using a library to send them

Well not sure how that was misused to send spam

I’m over generalizing the whole system as a whole.

The whispers system is potentially this “bad” for “good developers” due to bad actors.

@MrAmericanMike

PS: Why do I need to whisper a viewer in the first place? Well, don’t forget they have to whisper the bot first to begin with. And the answer is easy, I’m making some minigames where viewers whisper the bot with their guesses and the bot needs to whispers them back to know if their guesses were valid or not.
So far nothing has worked to get whispers responses to work reliable.

@MrAmericanMike

Specially when it’s not that they don’t do it, they just behave weird, as I said, the message is sent, it’s just not showing in real time on the viewers chat.

This is why the general advice is to use an extension instead and don’t rely on Whispers. Then you have better control over the User interaction and you don’t have to fight deliverability issues

Whispers as you have observed

@MrAmericanMike

until closing and opening the whisper tab over and over.

tend to be buggy and are just not reliable for the use case you are describing.

You are right that if a user using the site initiates a whisper conversation with a bot then it should open a “conversation timed period” where anything should be able to reply to it. But it comes back to reliability, it’s not reliable, so an extension is a more optimal approach.
