Constant Mass Op/De-Op

[riggedbot]

I’ve been getting this for a while now. Seems to happen multiple times daily. This scares me because:

@brildum

The 20/100 message rate-limit is per connection, but the determination of whether 20 or 100 is used is per-message. Consider the case where a mod of channel ‘test’ sends 21 messages to room #test in 21 seconds. Since they are a mod on channel ‘test’, this will be allowed (100 message rate-limit). However, if their 21st message was instead to a different room ‘not_a_mod_room’ where the user is not a mod, their connection will have 21 messages (over the 20 limit for this particular message) and they will be IP banned.

My bot could be functioning as coded within the limits and then I could lose op, send another message, and get IP banned for something is not my fault at all? My logs show that once it happened 3 times within 28 minutes but usually its a few times a day. Example with the usernames removed:

[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user1
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user2
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user3
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user4
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user5
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user6
[10/5 10:54:39]  jtv sets mode: -o user7
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user1
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user2
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user3
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user4
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user5
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user6
[10/5 10:55:35]  jtv sets mode: +o user7

As long as the broadcaster does not actively unmod you, this won’t happen. These +o -o messages are a bug in a server that tracks room state (who is in the room and what privs do they have) but the determination of whether you have privileges when sending a message/command is separate and reliable.
