Was just posting a other way to do it that would work
if the ($strip($1) == !time) in code 1 wasn't working for him.
Then the above would work.
And the above script is not My normal scripting style.
i use ($1 == W/E) for My commands... and/or ($1 isin %W/E)
and I normally don't use flood for My commands... only form for flood protection is SPAM ( as in repeat ) and that works for "cmds" as well if people SPAM them.

on *:TEXT:*:#: { inc -u5 $+(%,$1) 
  ;*** SETTiNG COMMAND
  set %CMD $strip($1)
  ;*** !TIME
  if (%CMD == !time) && ($+(%,$1) <= 1) { msg # The time is $+(14,$asctime(HH:nn:ss TT),) 15[ 5TimeZone $+(14GMT,$gmt(z),) 15] }
  ;*** !DATE
  elseif (%CMD == !date) && ($+(%,$1) <= 1) { msg # 15[ $+(14,$asctime(dddd),) 15] The $+(14,$asctime(dd),) of $+(14,$asctime(mmmm),) 15[ 5Date 15] $+(14,$asctime(mmmm),14/14,$asctime(dddd)15,/14,$asctime(yyyy),) 15[ $+(5,$asctime(mm/dd/yy),) 15] }
  ;*** !DAY
  elseif (%CMD == !day) && ($+(%,$1) <= 1) { msg # 15[ $+(,$asctime(dddd),) 15] The $+(14,$ord($asctime(dd)),) of $+(14,$asctime(mmmm),) or is it $+(14,$asctime(mmmm),) the $+(14,$ord($asctime(dd)),) ? 14- Either way... My spider sense tells Me the time is $+(14,$asctime(HH:nn:ss TT),) }
  ;*** MORE COMMAND AND SO ON AND SO ON
  unset %CMD
}

ooO( Took Me a while since I found fail looking for this... so was editing own stuff... but )
This is how I normally would go about if if I had to add flood
The previous script above was just a other way to show how it would work with $strip
Not something I would do normally
But I script pretty weird... no doubt about that... but I like it "clean" ???

EDIT
2 slow onces again :P
And come to think of it not quite sure I would go about it like I posted above... but will do the trick and with flooder added
