Nice catch on checking for OP stats, he didnt put it in so i couldnt be bothered (actually i didnt even think about it).

Oon the inital requester waiting 5 seconds, i thought oh who cares its only 5 seconds. i would have donethis for that tho likely (not confirmed to be) less task overhead than a $iif

inc -z %vmt.delay 0
.timer.vmt. $+ $nick 1 %vmt.delay if ($me isop #channel) mode #channel +v $nick
inc -z %vmt.delay 5

(ohhh typo in your line "inc -z $vmt.delay 5") smile
