Describe your issue

Sending an unknown command sends a message instead

does not happen with stable, happens with nightly

this should fail instead of sending a message, if you mistype your command (e.g. block/ban) then instead you send a message

The behaviour did change between versions, atleast in twitch chat, it tells me "Unrecognized command" and the message is not sent, whilst in nightly chatterino, the message gets sent. I believe it should probably mimic similar behaviour, since you can have your own chatterino commands, I'd assume you would not think that it would just send the message.

... that is extremely unsafe, especially if you want to send a whisper or block someone and you mistype it.

I believe chatterino should keep a list of possible commands and prompt you just in case you actually want to try sending an unknown command (e.g. before it is supported by this list), instead of just sending it straight away.

This mentions that the command is dropped, but in my observation, the message is NOT dropped, rather just sent without the command name.

As a side note:
I did get the "your message is being checked by mods", when a vpn I used was shadowbanned (and the mods did not receive the message), seems like the same error message is used on way too many things.

The behaviour did change between versions

We are likely to revert the Chat Send Protocol before it actually makes it into a new version

Just wanted to mention that when typing without a message, Chatterino gives the error Your message is being checked by mods and has not been sent.

I assume it's related to the above and therefore would be fixed with the rollback - however would it not be worth checking to see if it's a command within Chatterino before sending as an irc command?
