I use elseif mainly for stacking if-statements, does is have any added value in this scenario?


it only serves to prevent mIRC from going through subsequent if conditions should one of them succeed which, if you're using /halt in each of them, doesn't happen anyway. if you aren't, the elseif approach provides a comfortable way of including a default case (else {})
