IRC is badly designed. If it weren't, there would be a way to force someone to another channel, and tell them to reask the question there, as opposed to "kick" (I assume: force them out of the channel) and ignore. Like automatically following a referral in a browser. IRC is simply not well designed for the use (technical support) to which people appear to be attempting to put it.
