This idea would cripple functionality for radio on quickplay servers, just being one example of something it would further ruin for TF2 if such a restriction was imposed. I myself can't say I've come across servers like this, and if there are any then I imagine it's a mere handful (minor percentage of all QP servers). All players have to do in such instances of finding a server is just blacklist it and/or report it in-game, case closed. Alternatively if something is decided to be done in view of one complaint then disabling window.open would eliminate any new windows that you might be talking about even if that's the case. As I say, I haven't found this when going on servers myself.
