A quick suggestion for you all that are trying to develop peaceful bots:

Eggdrop needs to have a "give up" timer after which it stops attempting to join a channel, particularly if the channel is juped:

437 mynick #channel :Nick/channel is temporarily unavailable

I've started perm k-lining these because it's apparent that the owners are not paying attention to what channels their bots are failing to join and temp k-lines aren't getting the message across. This wouldn't normally be a problem, but we use channel jupe join notices in order to build k-line lists for drones so we aren't going to just filter them out.

How this occurs makes no difference to me... I'm just trying to save you all from k-lines and me from annoying notices.

Take care,
