First off this system has literally nothing to do with quickplay so I don't understand people making comments about it. This system is a tracking system to ban anyone who Valve feels is being abusive, using quick play or not. I don't know anyone who runs custom game play servers and also runs quickplay. It would be completely pointless as most custom game modes don't run vanilla maps or 24 slots.
They wouldn't need to ban custom game modes that I can never see happening. But if lets say they decided anyone who edits attributes of weapons is being abusive or if they say giving someone a weapon they don't have is abusive (which they did do in CS:GO) then that's were the issues arise. Game modes like TF2 Randomizer, TF2 X10, Freak Fortress, Saxton Hale would all be considered abusive.
