What you need to understand is that channel ops may kick or ban an individual for any reason or for no reason at all. The most you can do is to ask a channel op to unban you. To do that, type /who #channel or /names #channel and /msg or /query one of the channel ops (their nick will be prefixed by an @ symbol), and politely ask them to unban you. Note that if the channel is mode +s (secret), or the ops are usermode +i (invisible), you will not see their names displayed. See similar questions...
