Today, I got banned from my favourite online video game for calling a person on my team a "Baked Potato". FML

NoCnNoJustice tells us more.

You'd be right! I'll try and condense the story for you. So basically, I was playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (the game mentioned in my post) and my team was messing about and killing each other. In my frustration, I called the one who was the most annoying on my team a baked potato. It seems that he too must have been frustrated, because the next thing I know, he's called a vote to kick me from my team. Since I'm at the top of the leaderboard and I'm carrying my team (despite losing by a huge margin), I think to myself "Well, it's not like they're going to vote 'Yes', they need me on this team if we're ever going to win!" But, to my surprise, they all accepted the vote and I was kicked, consequently resulting in a 7 day ban from Competitive Matchmaking. Well, that's it! I hope this backstory behind it was sufficient.

Lol make another account! problem solved!

In some games, creating a new account could cost thirty dollars or more, since he might have to re-buy the game.

One has to pay if one needs to play!

That's an insult to a Sontaran! You should be ashamed.

Why is everyone here assuming it was meant as an insult?

What reason would you be calling someone a baked potato and meaning it nicely?

#68 potato->food->yummy->good->nice what do you associate potato with to be able to think it's an insult?!

#189 go to urban dictionary and look up the term

I prefer the term "potted plant."

nah league will only chat restrict you if you're a constant flamer.

You quite literally have to be toxic for just about every game you play, nonstop for the Tribunal to even do anything though haha

Imagine if you referenced poutine in your bitch slap I think the police might have ended up being called on you

Obviously Canadian. ;) I don't know how many people from other countries even know what poutine is.

I used to think a poutine was some form of Canadian chicken type creature, like a poussin.

The one report that the developer actually looks at. Banned
