SingleServerIRCBot - TwitchBot doesn't work with commands like /ban

Hello, I'm working on a TwitchBot that should be able to use / commands like /ban (or .ban). It responds to stuff like !test. However it doesn't seem to like / commands. I have found nothing except "Has your bot permissions? Is the token correct?" This does not help me since it has all of the permissions it needs. I also tried to use connection.send_raw() or connection.privmsg(). The privmsg() thingy works for normal responses so I thought it would for /ban etc. too but it doesn't. Idk if I misunderstood something when sending / commands but I assumed I could send /ban <username> the same way as a normal response. Heres the code that gets executed as soon as a message appears in chat: ```def on_pubmsg(self, connection, event): message = Message(event.arguments[0]) with open(self.commandFile, "r") as c: commands = c.readlines() if message.message.startswith("!"): for command in commands: command = command.rstrip("\n") cmd = command.split(";")[1].rstrip(" ") if cmd == message.message.split(" ")[0].lstrip("!"): if cmd == "add": prefix, cmd, response = message.message.split(" ")[1][0], message.message.split(" ")[1][1:], message.message.split(" ")[2] newCommand = "{};{};{}".format(prefix, cmd, response) if newCommand in commands: self.msg = 'Command: "{}{}" --> "{}" already exists!'.format(prefix, cmd, response) else: self.addCommand(newCommand) self.msg = 'Command: "{}{}" --> "{}" was successfully added!'.format(prefix, cmd, response) elif cmd == "play": sound = message.message.split(" ")[1] try: self.playSound(sound) self.msg = 'Played sound "{}"'.format(sound) except: self.msg = 'An error occurred while trying to play: "{}"'.format(sound) else: self.msg = command.split(";")[2] Message.send(self, self.msg, self.channel) break elif self.randomBanWord.casefold() in message.message.casefold(): self.ban(<username>) # didn't implement the getUser function yet so I just enter the username manually for testing def ban(self, username): Message.send(self, "Entered ban function with username: {}".format(username), self.channel) self.connection.send_raw(f"PRIVMSG #{self.channel} :/ban {username}")``` And here is the Message class: ```class Message(): def __init__(self, message: str): self.message = message def send(self, message: str, channel: str): self.connection.privmsg(channel, message)``` It feels like my bot doesn't have permissions for banning or using other / commands even though it has *every* permission I could give it... ChatGPT also only tells me stuff I already know. I have no clue what to do at this point. Should I switch to `pytwitchapi`? However I never really understood async functions so I used the IRCBot. Ping me please if you respond (Unless the post pings me automatically when someone responds; I have no clue how the posts work). You can answer in English or in German. Any kind of help is appreciated!
