Ive been doodling with link protection for a while since the ones posted here dont work for me on twitch.tv. They seem inconsistent and although the code looks good, it doesnt always do what its supposed to do.
So, i decided to write my very first script from scratch (so please bare with me :P) I'm sure there's someone who can tell me how to merge the 'domain pods' into a single pod for a cleaner look, but for now, im after a way to implement a strike system. (higher punishment for more links posted).
So far the code looks like this

on *:text:!linkson:#: {
  if ($nick isop #) {
    if (%links) { msg $chan Link protection is already active }
    else { 
      msg $chan Link protection activated
      set %links On
    }
  }
}

on *:text:!linksoff:#: {
  if ($nick isop #) {
    if (%links) { 
      msg $chan Link protection deactivated 
      unset %links On
    }
    else { msg $chan Link protection is already disabled. }
  }
}
on *:text:*.com*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}

on *:text:*.net*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}
on *:text:*.nl*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}
on *:text:*.tv*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}

on *:text:*http://*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}
on *:text:*www.*:#: {
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) { 
    msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
    msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
  }
}

on *:text:!permit*:#: {
  if ($nick isop #) {
    if (%links) {
      set -u30 %permit $addtok(%permit,$2,32)
      msg $chan You have 30 seconds to post a link, $nick
    }
  }
}

Now, ive tried implementing the following into the pods. But it always seems to pick the first 'if' instead of responding according to the set variable and therefor banning someone for a day immediately instead of going through the chain first. Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong here?:

on *:text:*.com*:#: { 
  if ($nick isop #) { return }
  if ($istok(%permit,$nick,32)) { return }
  if (%links) {
    if (%repeat. $+ $nick) { 
      msg $chan Third time, come back tomorrow, $nick [Link] [Ban]
      unset %repeat. $+ $nick On
      msg $chan /timeout $nick 86400
    }
    elseif (%links. $+ $nick) { 
      msg $chan post another link and you will be banned, $nick [Link] [Timeout]
      unset %links. $+ $nick On
      msg $chan /timeout &nick
      set -u86400 %repeat. $+ $nick On 
    } 
    else { 
      msg $chan /timeout $nick 10
      msg $chan please ask permission before posting a link, $nick [Link] [Warning]
      set -u86400 %links. $+ $nick On 
    }
  }
}

If im being too vague, my apologies. The language barrier is strong in this one :P Thank you for your time either way!
