Comment(by 80686):

 I have the same problem here on Freenode.

 According my understanding the problem is that Pidgin is joining to
 quickly on reconnect, so Freenode suspects flooding if you have to many
 autojoin-channels in Pidgin due to the amount of /join commands within a
 short period of time.

 A possible solution might be if autojoin is slowed down by a delay, maybe
 adjustable in the preferences.

 Some IRC clients offers a flooding protection by using a general delay
 which is triggered by n messages withing a specific time period.
