Then you probably got a server ban. Let's hope it was temporary. There are some rules on the server as there is on any server.

You may have accidentally broken a no flooding rule? Flooding is a way of disconnecting other users and crashing servers. It's done by sending simply a lot of data to the IRC server, such as by pasting nonsense lines very fast or changing your nick a lot very fast. It was effective back in the days when internet connections were ****, but it's generally not as effective nowadays. Still, IRC servers tend to be a bit old school about flooding rules.
Hopefully, any server ban is just temporary. At least I can connect just fine with my browser client.
