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.

Epic insult!! I have to start using that

name calling these days... very interesting.

If the rules are not to call people names then it's your own darn fault regardless of how stupid the insult is. Follow the rules.

Baked potatoes are nice though...

Was it League of Legends? Sounds like League of Legends...

Could've been seen as racist. Do you read the game/servers rules?

I dunno about Australia, but in the US, that could be taken seriously as being called a "stoned autistic person." I doubt they took it seriously though, they were probably just sick of you calling people (on your team) silly and illogical things, if the pattern aligns.
