Bans that begin with a `$` sign are extended ban types; you can see more information about these by sending the `/quote HELP EXTBAN` command on IRC. If you find a ban which matches you but you feel wasn't intended to keep you out, then talk to one of the channel operators to see about having it removed. You can find a list of channel operators via the `/msg ChanServ ACCESS #channel LIST` command.
