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.

Jeez, whoever banned you should try listening to all the sailor-mouthed racists on Xbox Live.

But the sailor-mouthed racists make Xbox Live so much fun!

I can't think of a reason why someone would be offended by this except for Mr.Potato Head

Was it a kid's online game, such as Club Penguin?

Using words like "****" "shit" "damn" are apparently instant perma bans on club penguin xD

You really should stop playing video games anyways. Talk about a waste of time and money.

what, so we're not allowed to relax with our favorite virtual games now?... Didn't think so. And who you anyway, to think you get to decide what video games are?

Video games are a pretty damn good deal for the amount of hours of entertainment you get for the price tag. Although that's beyond the point, it's his money and time, he can spend it how he wants.

play during the night: no time wasted hack the video games: no money wasted anyway people spent their times the way they want.

So winning $5,000,000 from playing a video game professionally (Dota 2's TI4) is a waste of time and money? Whatever you say, mister ignorant.

it's not a waste of time if you enjoy it. same logic applies to sports, makeup, modifying your car, etc.

Have you ever played dota2? gamers can't quit gaming!

Actually, unfair moderation does exist and sometimes there isn't anything you can do about it. Sometimes people just need to relax and not take things so seriously. It's just a game after all, I don't believe OP deserved a perm ban if that's what he got.

Well, Pinoys, Russians and Brazilians are sort of the scum of Dota, if you don't like it then you should consider quitting the game.
