I really can't write a plugin, as in really no idea what and how.
If someone wrote this and is willing to share it, that would be great.

You could do this: follow the instructions for creating a plugin here: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/plugin_system (same link as is posted above). It's pretty easy, and if you don't understand what an option does you can probably leave the default value, or else ask here.

Anyway, use hook location global_bootstrap_init_start and this code:

if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], array(A, B, C)))
    $vbulletin->options['floodchecktime'] = X;

You'll need to change the parts in red - A, B, C to one or more userids, and X to the new flood check time in seconds. If you want to set different times for different users you can repeat that code as many times as you need with different userid and times.
