Bug #1612: quasselcore attempts to connect to irc.rizon.net multiple times in a row causing temporary ban

  ----------------------------------------
  My quasselcore instance randomly gets kicked from rizon and banned temporarily with the following error message:

irssi / weechat can stay connected for a week straight without this ban occuring, it happens randomly on Quassel. I disabled automatic reconnections and have custom rate limits set to 1 message at once, 5s between future messages.

I am using v0.13.1 with 2 connected clients (Quasseldroid v1.3.3, v.0.13.1), but this bug occurs even when only one Quassel client is connected (the desktop or mobile client alone)

I am trying to connect to irc.rizon.net:6697 (SSL)
