I don't think anybody has time to play the police game here.
Let valve handle the blacklist. Having this new token means that a lot of providers will think twice before breaking the rules as it would mean that they'd have to start over each time.

Then again, not many gameservers are up breaking the rules.

The main focus of this update shouldn't be "punishing the bad guys" but "bringing some new features" to us.

BR,
Niko

No, but an investigation would be equal to visiting the servers and just seeing if everything is okay, then ignore all other reports towards that server/community if it's in the clear.

I really hope this doesn't get implemented. It would be too easy for one community to raid another community and report it a ton. I don't think valve has the manpower to investigate all of the claims, which would mean it would have to be automated to some extent.

    That could actually be beneficial. Add a system similar to the
    one in OW that benefits players/gives them extra influence on
    reporting servers depending on record, and gives some form of XP
    boost for doing a good job.

        Do you intent to add a report system? Perhaps something that
        implements abuse detections/limits like csgo's player report
        function? Perhaps something that credits people with xp for
        valid reports?

        I would also like to pose the same question as Mishu but in
        reverse...let's say I have all my community servers
        assigned to my personal account and I get overwatch or VAC
        banned...can I just make a new account, new tokens,
        reassign them to my servers and be good to go? or will my
        IP get a permanent blacklist? I'm assuming new tokens would
        fix it up but it's worth asking since Ido hasn't done
        another follow up on the questions yet.

            Hey Ido, hey Vitaly,

            what will happen if someone of your friends/customers
            do anything forbidden with the server with a token of
            for example me?  Will i get 'personal punishment' or is
            just the token 'banned/blacklisted'?

            thx!

                    Q. What is the purpose of this update?
                    A. We had intended to adopt Favorites migration
                    from TF2 for some time now. Game Server
                    Providers' complaint about the impact that the
                    current IP banning method has on their
                    operation has made this more urgent since with
                    this feature we'll also be able to shield GSPs
                    from bad actors.

                    Q. Is this [ new method ] just to generate the
                    token, or if this occurs will the tokens become
                    invalid while that ban/lock is in place?
                    A. Any such or similar infraction by the GSLT
                    owning Steam User will result in the disabling
                    of all of that user's GSLTs.

                    Q. So does this mean I can't run a CS:GO server
                    unless I own CS:GO?
                    A. That will be correct as of Stage 3.

                    Q. So people need to have landlines to run
                    servers now?
                    A. No. But there are currently restrictions on
                    what constitutes a qualifying phone number.
                    VOIP / burner numbers are currently non-qualifying.

                    Q. What specifically happens if you don't log
                    into an account after stage three?
                    A. The result will be identical to the current
                    IP ban: players will not be able to connect.

                    Q. So can these tokens be used in place of the
                    webapi_authkey ? will we need BOTH keys now to
                    use the workshop?
                    A. The webapi authkey was previously an
                    intermediate step to creating a GSLT. It is no
                    longer necessary.

                    Q. And just to be clear, it's 50 at any one
                    time, not 50 total lifetime, correct?
                    A. Correct. You can delete unused GSLTs and
                    generate new ones. We're reevaluating the 50
                    token limit.

                    Q. Why don't my previously registered servers
                    show up?
                    A. Fixed.
