thanks for the reply, Luke, apologies for the delay.

The plugin is intended for when you are kicked offline.  that is, when
you no longer have a connection to the server.  you are not in any
sense of the word that I understand, "offline" when merely kicked
from a single chat.  how would you word this to make this distinction
clear?

I think it's the use of the word "kicked" that causes the confusion (and it's not just me, my colleagues confirm). Losing a network connection, for example, isn't normally caused by any "kicking" action.

Given that IRC, in particular, has a "kick" command that does something else, and other IRC clients, e.g. xchat, have an "auto-reconnect on kick" which does what I described in the bug - i.e. after being kicked from a channel - I think the wording here isn't helpful, to us easily confused people :)

Perhaps: "when you lose your connection to the server, this reconnects you" would be acceptable?

Separately, would there be any use/point in me logging an RFE to ask for the addition of a plugin to auto-reconnect after being kicked off a channel?

thanks much for your comments.

best regards,
calum.
