It's fair to say that the community as a whole needs to protect its rights if it's going to put the resources into a server and let players join. Now if that player doesn't agree with the setup or how things are run and they complain then it still should allow the Administrator/owner of that server the ability to contest the problem or at the very least add that users SteamID to a ban log to prevent them from rejoining and reporting over and over.
The same user hitting F7 repeatedly for the same server will likely end up in 1 report filed against said server total.

I would hope there's some plan in place to catch users that are posting reports from the same IP (particularly if they're a bunch of free accounts).

Having said that, the whole reporting thing was introduced by Valve to avoid an "arms race" (Fletcher Dunn's choice of words) between Valve and abusive communities (saigns.de, nightteam, etc...)
