mIRC not recognizing twitch mods. Help?
reddit / irc

I'm working on a bot for a twitch chat, but for some reason mIRC
doesn't properly recognize operator status for twitch mods. When a mod
joins, it says:

    * jtv sets mode +o examplename

but when the mod speaks in chat it doesn't show the @ in front of
their name, making operator only commands unusable, which ends up
looking like this:

    <examplename> I am a mod!

 Is there something I can do to fix this?

Why are operator only commands unusable if it doesn't display the @?
Are you using the isop operator to check the +o mode? isop shouldn't
care whether or not you have nick prefixes on.

Twitch stores the mod status in separate metadata as well as the IRC
status. Sometimes the IRC servers get bugged and don't reflect it
properly, but the web interface still gets info from the metadata.

When I wrote my twitch bot, it led me to manually assign user levels
for mods, because the outages were frequent enough that it impeded bot
function.

Yeah I have been using isop but it has not been working for me at all,
and that it not displaying the @ was the cause was the conclusion I
came to after messing with it for as few days. I could be wrong
though. I don't know much about mirc.

I'll try that again. That was something I tried, but I don't think I
was doing it right.

how do I go about doing that? I tried but maybe I'm doing something
wrong.

"Twitch"
You can't even /query users. That's not an IRCd, it's an abonimation
of IRC.

It's not IRC. It's their own form of chatting system which mIRC and
other clients alike are compatible with. (Basically they use some
commands which mIRC can recognize like PASS, NICK and USER to login)
