It means you are "voiced".

Some channels are "moderated" (using `/mode +m`), and only
voiced/opped/halfoped users can talk on these channels.

On other channels, this has (usually) no effect at all, it's just used
to make people stand out.

There are other symbols that can be added before someone's name: `+`
for voice, `%` for halfop, `@`, for op, ...

You get to dab on the non-voiced users.

During arguments or heated debate in a channel, ops used to mute
everyone and only + users can send msgs to channels.

I've very rarely seen it used for that purpose. Usually it's seen as a
way of "promoting" someone even though it doesn't give them any more
abilities if the channel isn't moderated.
