Moderator in a timeout
The channel I moderate has a Channel Points redemption that lets viewers timeout a moderator for 10 minutes. The timeout itself works as intended, but it also removes the moderator role, requiring the broadcaster to manually reassign it every time the timeout expires.
Would it be possible for timed-out moderators to automatically regain their moderator role/not lose it at all once the timeout ends? This would preserve the intended functionality of the timeout while eliminating the need for the broadcaster to repeatedly re-add moderators, especially if the redemption is used frequently.

A list of moderators could be inserted into a txt file. Inserting a custom bot or similar could work that cycle every time. It wouldn't be to difficult to program this. It might be possible via the Lead Moderator Role to mod; however, I cannot test whether this is allowed. It is definitely possible to make your own bot and insert it as yourself, but that would result in you being the bot... which might throw off the idea that you are a bot not a viewer.
With that being said, a custom bot and you as the bot would work. An event would be notified, or 10 minutes after the channel point redeem... it would update to mod status for the(ex mod) however, we all know the USER is a mod, but in terms of the bot, it wouldn't know... Eitherway, personally, a way exists for this, but it is a roundabout way til others chirp in about it.
I'm not a popular person... my ideas are never popular at all, but this is a workaround for you I hope it helps.
