RegisterProcessCommands preventing private messages in my game

The Problem
I’m scripting my own admin commands and while trying to implement a feature where using a specific prefix (‘@’) the command wouldn’t show up in chat, I ran into a barrier: the way of accomplishing this prevents private messages.

The Code

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService");
local Commands = require(ServerScriptService.AdminHandler.Commands);
local Settings = require(ServerScriptService.AdminHandler.Settings);

local function ProcessCommand(Speaker, Message, ChannelName)
	if Message:sub(1, 1) == Settings.SilentPrefix then
		return true;
	end;
	
	return false;
end;

local function RunChatModule(ChatService)
	ChatService:RegisterProcessCommandsFunction("SilentCommand", ProcessCommand);
end;

return RunChatModule;

The Solution?
Does anyone have any clue how to solve this? I’m really hoping I won’t have to implement whispering myself. What happens is when I click on a player’s name in chat, and type in my message to whisper to them, it just comes out as /w (the player’s name) (message). I’m stumped, and I’m not sure if there is any way to fix this.

I mean, you are trying to do something not easy at all.

No, I’d argue it’s pretty easy (and why is that relevant?). Anyways, this reply was incredibly unconstructive so I fail to see why you posted it.

It turns out I hadn’t done enough research and later realized that I would need to insert all the scripts from ChatModules into my replacement, as Private Messages and a lot of other features were contained in them.
