And I make a suggestion regarding the /mode #chan +b command, I think it would be better if it returned the time and date in text format associated with the $ctime time value.
If you are referring to the result printed to the status window, mIRC already displays this in brackets:

[19:27] #swiftirc *!*@89.187.177.72 set by SwiftIRC!SwiftIRC@SwiftIRC.net (Sun Dec 17 22:57:25 2023)

If you are using a script to display this numeric, you will need to parse the $ctime value.
