Ok, so I just got in another kick war with ChanServ (again).

This bug has been reported before with no conclusion, but it obviously
*does* exist.

Fair enough.

I joined whilest not being identified, and was booted out. Also okay.

What wasn't ok was services not setting a ban on my host for some
reason (perhaps assuming it'd be smart and get in a kick war with me
instead? I don't know.)

Anyway, so thanks to autorejoin and autoconnect, I then spammed with
kicks and reconnects for the next 3 minutes until I managed to
reconnect a second client and ban myself manually.

Can this be looked into again? Because it really seems like something
isn't right. I can't reproduce it, but I have seen it happen various
times, and it's happened to me a few times.

Thanks Andrew,
Robin
