A different idea:
Since overwatch is out of beta, it gives you rank points for accurate reviews. Why not do the same for reporting servers?

Give people a chance to flag their servers as inapplicable for giving out rank points. This should for example apply to idle servers. If they get caught not complying, they get blacklisted. bb

I think it would be incredibly difficult (if not impossible) to implement, though. As Jack M. mentioned, there needs to be some way to deal with idle servers. And XP is given out based on game mode + points earned at the end of the match. Something like a 1v1 server (which is technically generally run in a classic casual game mode) issues you points based on what arena you're in. Somebody who goes 35:10 for the whole map and happens to end in the bottom arena would gain less XP than somebody who just joined, goes 8:0, and ends in the top arena. Or somebody who plays 10 minutes in deathmatch would get significantly less XP than somebody who plays 10 minutes in a FFA deathmatch, just because they have fewer targets to kill.

It sounded like a good idea while I was typing it, but I think in practicality, it would either be impossible or it would turn into something like "You can earn XP on your servers if you have such-and-such cvars enabled and you're not running this or that plugin", which would probably upset the community even more.

    Definitely the best compromise !

        That's a nice suggestion!

        Earning xp is simply just a barrier to entry into valve's
        matchmaking. It would be completely pointless if it were
        allowed on community servers. (However, if they made it so
        after rank three you could earn xp on community servers,
        that would solve both sides of the issue.)

            As a server operator myself, in my opinion the best way
            to go about this
            issue would be for Valve to patch the commands that
            server operators use to
            give weapon skins or knives or whatever they decide.
            That way, we know which
            plugin can be used without being worried about breaking
            the rules and
            running in grey areas.

            Alternatively, I suggest a compromise for this
            situation, where servers that
            run weapon skins or knifes plugins are unranked, such
            that players do not
            receive XP, whilst servers that don't run these weapon
            skins or knifes
            plugins and conform to an set of "ranked" rules will
            have XP drops for
            players. This, I do believe is a compromise between a
            significant
            deterioration of community servers and Valve's profits loss.
