The reputation Valve keeps on the backend was explained by them in some blog post but in short whenever someone joins your server, you lose points. Then for every minute they are there you gain 1 point, and after 15 minutes the player has "paid" for the points loss they created.
This is to stop a server from advertising "SUPER FUN", and then you get in and realize it's all bots and idlers and it's not fun, so you leave ASAP.
