Sounds like a good idea.

Great idea. It'd definitely help new servers more easily gain a following
and do a better job of integrating users into the communities of their
favorite servers.

 Fletcher / Valve - I think all of us would love some sort of method
 similar to L4D2 for players on the server to be able to join a set
 Steam Group from within-game. I'm kind of surprised this hasn't
 already been done already, but that (and the MOTD server banner) were
 my 2 favorite things about running L4D / L4D2 servers. I loved that
 players had instant and direct access to joining the server's steam
 group, for those players who enjoyed being there and wanted to be
 apart.

 Blacklisting and reporting and so on are great for removing bad
 servers. But it would be awesome if some tools could be added on the
 other end of the scale, to allow players to add servers they enjoy
 playing at. There's already the add to favorites pop-up when you
 leave a server, perhaps add that option there? Or something on the
 scoreboard when you're in spectator mode? Or the MOTD as well?

Could be nice with something like the
ahref='steam://connect/...'/a thing :)
