Read his post again, he's talking about servers that reopen window to
display advertisements. Hes not talking about removing html motd.

Or just let players report and leave these servers. There are several
legit reasons for HTML MOTDs.

As I'm sure most are aware, a little while ago Valve changed the
TF2 MOTD panel so that it can't be reopened by the server if the
client joins via Quickplay (or using the matchmaking argument on
the connect command). However, this just prevents the MOTD panel
itself from redisplaying. The server can still open pages in the
client's MOTD panel in the background.
This means that the server can still spam traffic-to-cash URLs on
clients, many of which have noise-making Flash embedded or which
open popup windows using JavaScript. In order to maintain the
"sterile bubble" in Quickplay, Valve might want to consider
preventing servers from opening webpages on Quickplay-joining
clients entirely, not just preventing the panel from being
redisplayed.
