I think Valve already has full control over the process of clients joining a server (remember the Steam Ticket issues) thus it should be easy for them to prevent a client from connecting to a delisted server.

As for the actual SUBJECT of this topic (its gone way off-topic with the
ads stuff), I think valve is already moving into the steam login
required for setting up/running servers. Altho I think they should set
it up that server owners can make a new steam account, and then request
via web-page on steam to add server functionality to it (for dedicated
servers), after which they can set up servers. That those should get linked
