Server option: disable auto-reconnect [feature]

Open docwhat opened this issue 11 years ago • 6 comments

What

Please add an option to disable the auto-reconnect for servers. Others may also want to be able to disable the reconnect-on-wake feature independently as well.

Why

In story form:

Jill works at a company that has a password policy that locks accounts if more than N consecutive bad-password attempts are made. She changes her password and starts LimeChat. LimeChat tries to connect once, fails, and then disconnects.

Ciao!

Another story:

John uses a bouncer and when his laptop wakes up limechat automatically connects and starts replaying his 5000 lines of history. He then immediately connects to his VPN (while limechat is showing the spinning wheel of death) which disconnects him and reconnects him stopping and restarting the replay of his 5000 lines of history. This causes both his system to limechat to lag more than is strictly necessary.

I have been banned from ##programming on Freenode for "join flooding" because I forgot Limechat was running, and I changed my active interface/network/VPN a bunch of times (tinkering on my home network).
