Kicking all F2P isn't an option in my opinion, you'd be removing an entire playerbase over a few problem individuals. I also question the choice to hand out admin to players that are or claim to be female. The chance for abuse is just too high with an unknown individual; by the time anything could be done about a player abusing their mini-admin, it would have meant an ill experience for many players.
I have to agree with E. Olson, valve needs something in place to prevent the creation of massive numbers of F2P accounts, I'm honestly surprised they don't already have something. When F2P was announced valve assured us that it would not mean a rise in cheaters. Quite frankly I believe they're not holding up their end of the bargan. I have no quarrel with the VAC system, it sucks that it won't do anything about cheaters right off the bat, but it's good that it prevents programmers from figuring out something is VAC detectable before some of their users are banned. Then you look back and see that TF2 is now F2P, anyone can make as many accounts as they wish, and you have to wonder what the point of having VAC is without a complimentary system to keep banned players off.
