A few possibilities.
1) You have put everyone on ignore.
1a) type /!ignore -r
2) You have a deaf mode on your account.
2a) type //mode -d $me
3) You have a script that is catching all of the text said in the channel (an ON TEXT event) that has a halt or haltdef line with that event.
3a) Type /!remote off
3b) See if that resolves the issue
3c) If it does, you'll have to go through your scripts, one at a time, to find the one that is causing the problem.
