OY! Now THIS I should have caught initially! I wonder if the $chan param is interfering with the timer option? As a side note, it would be nice if we did have a channel specific ignore option. I know the arguments are basically "if you want to ignore a (nick in a) channel, dont join it" vs "if you want to ignore the person in channels, use the "c" switch" vs "script the person's channel (specific) response(s) out" vs "we should be able to have a channel specific ignore system". Im NOT going to suggest this again cause obviously it has been suggested before, just making a comment about something in the original post
