Re-join and first activity messages #294

Open defanor opened 8 years ago

defanor commented 8 years ago

Sometimes the "re-join" message is followed by the "first activity" message, like this:

*** Re-join: githubbot (~githubbot@192.30.252.41), left 5 minutes 23 seconds ago
*** First activity: githubbot joined a moment ago.

It doesn't seem to depend on time since the previous message/quit, just happens sometimes (e.g., happened after 5 and 207 minutes, didn't happen after 2 and 12 minutes). I'd think it shouldn't do that at all, since if somebody is not considered a lurker (and we track their re-joins), then there's no need to announce first activity.

Though probably there's a different reasoning behind announcing re-joins, but it still feels inconsistent, and strange how it happens seemingly randomly.

That's in circe-20160608 from melpa, emacs 25.1.1.

Huh. I haven't seen this before, thanks for the report.
