If you get kicked, you should + stay out, at least until the channel forgot you existed :) Most channels + I've joined just ban you if you autorejoin after kick. If you're joined + to channels who kick people for fun, try changing channels or something. + + Anyway, if you REALLY want to do that, and you understand that you're + doing evilness, you can use the autorejoin.pl script that comes with + irssi.

Who could possibly care every time you + come and go? Many channels will kick you for using this, and I for example + have added several ignores so I'd never need to see these messages. Learn + to use /AWAY command properly and tell it's existence to people who don't + know about it. /WII yournick shows your away reason much better for people + who actually want to know if you're there or not. + + You can script these behaviours if you really wish to of course. But + currently there's no public scripts for either of these, and the only way + I'm going to add such to irssi.org is if the script contains a setting to + specify which specific channels the announcement is sent. +
