A user on an ircd I oper for was having connection problems while afk. One user kicked him from the channel, after which he rejoined. Deciding to make the matter final, I /kill'd the client. It nevertheless reconnected and rejoined the channel, much to the annoyance of everyone present. /kick and /kill are meaningful tools used by IRC operators, and disregarding them will only draw the ire of operators and lead to more drastic measures. Please disable automatic reconnect / rejoin after these events, or at least make a setting available to respect these. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /kick or /kill user Actual Results: User rejoins. Rage. Expected Results: User doesn't rejoin
Konversation doesn't auto-rejoin after kicks - intentionally, despite frequent user requests, because we agree it only aids trolls and bad operators. Kills however are not treated differently from other forms of connection loss.

I think what happened with the rejoin-after-kick is: 1. user joined channel 2. user was kicked from channel 3. user's connection dropped 4. user reconnected, and rejoined I'd say this is a bug, though admittedly a difficult one to fix. Whether you want it filed separately or not is up to you. Why are kills not treated separately? If an oper /kills a user, they want that user off of their network, and reconnecting will only make things worse.
No reason for either, other than simply not having special-cased those cases yet. Shouldn't be too difficult, though; channels already keep the relevant state, and handling kills that way is a matter of parsing and funneling the event into the already-existing codepath for deliberate, non-actionable disconnects. Unless I'm missing something you can probably expect the next release to behave this way.
