Whats the difference between a law and a rule? Absolutely nothing.
Law: A rule of conduct or procedure established by custom, agreement, or authority.
Rule: An authoritative, prescribed direction for conduct, especially one of the regulations governing procedure in a legislative body or a regulation observed by the players in a game, sport, or contest.
Notice how those two definitions are almost identical. Your argument makes no sense, and saying the staff does it is even dumber. Umm the staff are the ones who made the rules, if they want to use mIRC they can. Thats like saying "#somechan's rules says no colors, but the ops use colors all the time!" Welcome to IRC, those who make the rules are the same people who enforce them.
