Try next server flag?

[Weedy]

I just finished up with a wonderful experience where
card.freenode.netbecame a steaming pile of crap.
I'm not really active on freenode as of late so I didn't notice how many
time or how often I was lagging out, By the time I fixed the problem I was
banned from almost every channel on the network.

Two things:
1. Why doesn't /reconnect have a -next or -cycle?
2. Why aren't there any heuristics for server where if I'm dropped X times
in a hour it's probably a bad server and we need to try another. Or at
least every say 3 reconnects try another server.

Thank you for your time.

Honestly,

Not meaning to act like a cock or anything but most people set their ZNC
configs to reconnect/rejoin rooms if you were kicked, local kill'd or
dropped connection.

If you don't already use ZNC I'd reccomend you check it out.

Sounds like OP's problem is being dropped from the network due to server
issues. Using a BNC is not likely to solve these types of problems (I.e. a
bad server is dropping clients).

irssi never STOPPED trying to reconnect, so I got banned from my channels.
If it would have just fallen back to another sever in the group I would
have been fine. I mostly wanted to know why irssi handles reconnects like
it does. Specifically why short lived connections still count as successful.
