    They are probably "ops" (operators) who have op status because either they started and therefore "own" the chat room or were given ops by the person who did. Every chat room founder has op status and can then grant ops to whomever he or she chooses.

    Generally, op status is granted only after a person has been participating in a chat room long enough for the founder and/or other ops to get to know them and trust them to enforce whatever that channel's rules are.

    If you're going to a chat room in which the ops are indiscriminately kicking people or otherwise misusing their power, it's probably time to find another chat room.
