Or just kick or ban those with a backpack capacity of 50. Premium users get

If you insist on disallowing f2p anyway then I figure you could run a
script or something that will query for players backpack on joining and ban
or kick those without Proof of Purchase hat in their backpack. But this will
only allow old players that paid for their copy of tf2 to join your server.

You run into a problem if you base your kick and/or ban entirely on the
contents or even the number of slots of someone's backpack. You cannot
do it to me for example. My profile is private. Sites like
tf2items.com cannot see my backpack, which was a side effect of making
my profile private. As such, nobody can see what is in my backpack.
Slight digression, long after I had set my backpack private, I had some
random schmuck ask for one of my items; I realized he might have been
going by what tf2items.com had for me. It said that the last time it
had accurate data was in November of 2009. At that point, I asked
drunken_f00l to clear the data he had on the site. I do not like being
approached by random people asking about items in my backpack.
However, back to the topic at hand, the point of that is that, yes, it
may be handy to base a kick and/or ban on the state of a player's
backpack. What if you cannot even GET TO it? There needs to be some
other way. Letting any server administrator into a player's backpack is
not the answer. Neither is requiring players wear their Proof of Purchase.
