you dont need to use "tokenize 32 $strip($1-)" if you are stripping the color out in the regex.

also whynot put them under 1 on text event. here's just an example

on $5:text:/^(!mute|!unmute)\b/Si:#:{
  if ($2 != $me && $2 ison #) {
    if ($regml(1) == !mute && $address($2,2)) { 
      mode # +bb-aohv ~q: $+ $v1 ~n: $+ $v1 $str($2 $chr(32),4)
      msg # 04 $+ $nick Just Muted You For: $iif($3,$3-,Blatent Retardation.)
    }
    if ($regml(1) == !unmute && $address($2,2)) {
      mode # -bb+v ~q: $+ $v1 ~n: $+ $v1 $2
      msg # $2 $+ , you have been unmuted, please do not annoy anyone else, or you will be banned.
    }
  }
}
