not a bad outline proposal from valve

whilst not covering every possible angle, its nice to hear valve's outline of a reward system for 'good players'.

Also, i don't feel this is a persecution of new players - it's an incentive not to be a dickwad - something which plainly hasnt been made available or indeed addressed up to press =)
