I would consider it a bug, you should rejoin no matter who does the kicking. What if I kick myself for script testing purposes? I would expect to auto rejoin if it's enabled.
Kicking someone out of a channel doesn't stop them from coming back, kickbanning does.
I'm not sure about other possible uses for the feature, but I use the rejoin on kick feature because I often get kicked out of channels as a joke - since I'm op in half of the channels I use.
I dont think it should autorejoin when you kick yourself either. If you really need to kick yourself for testing purposes, and for some reason cant connect to the network a second time, you can always use services to do it for you. If neither of those options are availible then ask somebody else to kick you?
I think it stands to reason that most people who kick themselves out of a channel don't want to be in it.
yes, and the same applys to kicks from other ppl.
if ur kicked from a chan, odds are someone doesn't want u in it, so if the auto-rejoin applys there why should it apply here?
If they don't want you in, you know, they ban you.
I also get kicked as joke often, so it should obviously apply there. I also agree with the others that kicking yourself should not automatically rejoin.
