How to prevent joining a closed group chat on connection?

This is silly at best:

It happens every time i connect to FB.

Solved the issue by removing following snippet from /var/lib/bitlbee/rr-.xml:

    <channel name="#bara" type="chat">
        <setting name="account">facebook</setting>
        <setting name="auto_join">true</setting>
        <setting name="chat_type">room</setting>
        <setting name="room">1333384416682792</setting>
    </channel>

Huh, i thought had replied to this one, sorry.

For the record you could have done this

channel #bara set auto_join false

or even

channel #bara del
