The first is know as Nick Delay (ND), the second as Channel Delay (CD).

The ND happens on split, and (remote) kill, wether it's caused by an
oper or collision. It can optionaly be done for any quit. It's to prevent
abuse, by locking out the nick or channel for some time. You can configure
that time in config.h. It's #define DELAYCHASETIMELIMIT, which defaults
to 1800 sec (half an hour). If you really want to disable it, set it to 0.

Maybe you just want it to be activated on split (and then not set it to
0), in which case you have to change the source.

I hope this helps.
