Yep, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of.. It would be trivial to
output from a php file in the format of the banned.cfg file, and then all
you'd need to do would be to set up a cron job that does:
wget http://whaterver/banned.php > banned.txt
every 10 minutes or so..
I really think this is the only way to go. Imagine if *every* server did
this? Would people risk cheating if they knew it meant they'd get banned
from every server out there? This also lessens the load on individual admins
to police their servers. If hundreds of people are out there submitting ids
of cheaters, you distribute the load much better.
For this to work though, it would need to be very very widespread. Would be
nice if Valve could include a readme about it in the server archives on the
next release if we can get something set up?
