Who could possibly care every time you 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. +Q: Why does irssi autojoin on invite by default? +A: The setting is /SET join_auto_chans_on_invite - it's not the same as + regular autojoin-on-invite, which irssi doesn't even have. The only + channels that are joined on invite, are the ones you've added to config + with /CHANNEL ADD -auto. This is very useful with +i channels when you + need to first send an invite request to bot, or if you get accidentally + kicked from channel, the kicker can invite you back immediately. + + I don't see any bad side effects with this feature, so it's ON by + default. I guess someone could start kicking/inviting you all the time + but server connection shouldn't drop because of that, and you shouldn't + join channels whose operators are that evil.
