IRC (Internet Relay Chat) are conversations retransmitted in internet, it's a system written originally in Finland by Jarkko Oikarinen in 1988 and is now used worldwide. IRC is a multi-user chat system that allows encounters in virtual spaces called "channels" or "rooms" in order to converse privately or in groups.

As a user, you run an IRC client that connects to an IRC server on an IRC network. Each IRC network can be made up of many interconnected servers that, together, make up that network. The servers pass messages from user to user over the entire network. There are many IRC networks, both large, with tens of thousands of users and channels, and small. Each IRC network is separate from and independent of other networks and is run by its own set of owners and administrators.

An IRC client is a software application used to connect to an IRC server. Clients are available for most operating systems and mobile devices. Popular clients include mIRC, AdiIRC, IRCCloud and AndroIRC. Many user also use WebIRC gateway (webchat), which can be accessed from web browsers.

You must speak to the operators of the channel and only to them. The operators of the channel do not need to have “reasons” to ban you, they decide what happens in the channel. Complaining to the operators of the server for having been distanced or expelled from a channel is considered extremely childish and will not change the outcome. The operators of the server will not interfere in the rules of the channel, this is the sole responsibility of the operator of the channel itself. If you have been distanced or expelled from a channel you are free to create your own and decide your own rules and regulations. Consider every channel as if it were a home: the owner of that home has the right to share it with others or not and it is he who decides whom to let in and whom to exclude. In your home you decide, you are free to create your channel and establish your own rules.
