"Or you know, force the people renting the steam server to enter their own token somewhere so they're held accountable for their actions and not you."
This is more than likely what would ideally happen. It isn't the host fault that someone uploads some BS sourcemod plugin that is against Valves rules and they can't be expected to police every server rented to them. So put the blacklisting on the heads of the people actually running and configuring the server and not the host giving them space. This will still probably be abused as people will just start asking friends to create keys they can use until they are banned again but it should really be Valves problem and the players risk to break the rules not the person providing the hosting space for the server. Because at this rate hasn't it been that the IP just gets black listed which creates headaches for the server host in the event a user abuses or breaks Valves rules?
