But if done via plugin it would result in both an unpleasant user experience and a server score drop. There is a difference between being dropped because you are banned when you did something wrong and between clicking start playing only to get -> Banned not part of our super duper steam group.
Instead having the users simple be not matchmade into a server they can't join is far better. And this kind of functionality already exists in the Left 4 Dead series. So ideally a server that can't be joined would be invisible unless you go look for it manually. This is already a feature in both Left 4 Dead and CS:GO. In agreement with a point stated previously: when you can spend 3 minutes and have an account free of all blocks this system seems rather noneffective. Though I am sure that this exclusion system had a positive result in games like CS:GO and L4D2 where people have to pay for the game again in order to obtain a fresh account free of all blocks.
