Ok so I think I found the culprit.. not sure if its affecting permits and add regs being channel specific.. but here is what I changed.

Code went FROM:
Code:
    set -u120 $+(%,permit.,$chan) $remtok($($+(%,permit.,$chan),2),$regml(2),1,32)
    msg $chan $regml(2) You have 2 minutes to post a link in here


TO this code:
Code:
    .timerunset 1 30 set $+(%,permit.,$chan) $remtok($($+(%,permit.,$chan),2),$regml(2),1,32)
    msg $chan $regml(2) You have 30 seconds to post a link in here


And seems to be working in my own channel so far. Again, not sure if anything is channel specific.. but at least it's working for now.
