MTA:SA fix
CD36: Join flood, wait a minute then reconnect
MTA disconnected you with a Join flood message. Do what it says: wait a minute, then reconnect.
Disconnected: Join flood. Please wait a minute, then reconnect.
Codes on this page: CD36
Steps
Wait one minute
Do not try to join again at once. Wait a minute, as the message says.
Source: MTA wiki, MTA source code
Then reconnect
After the minute, open the console with F8 (or the ~ key), type reconnect and press Enter. It connects you to the server you were on before. For CIT you can also connect directly with mtasa://s2.cit.gg:22003.

CIT's knowledge base gives the same advice: wait a minute before you reconnect.
Still not fixed? Copy the whole message, not only the code, and check your log in the Fix tool. It is read on your own computer.
