Hello,
Can we use "if" in a sentence two times?

For example:

If you come to my chat room, if you see any member bothers you, just tell me to bounce him.

To me, it's a little awkward sentence because I have use "if" two times. What's your opinion about my self made example? Would you please help me on that?

It is incorrect. Remove the first comma and and change the second if to "and". Then delete "you see".

delete "you see".
Can I keep "see" and just delete "you"? I mean:

If you come to my chat room and see any member bothers you, just tell me to bounce him.

How about:

If you come to my chat room and any member bothers you, just tell me to bounce them (or use him or her/him).
