That's one of the reasons I want matchmaking so badly, server admins can rarely be trusted to provide people with a proper game experience...
And then what? Kids with force host kicking you from lobbies instead? Its not like MM will magically solve the issue. With dedicated servers you can at least ignore the bad ones, with MM it can happen, that it will put you into the same lobby over and over again.
I mostly still have the same admins I have had 10 years ago due to the lack of decent to good applicants, I am not sure if its because our servers are less popular or because too much has changed during the years.
The problem with dedis is not only on how poorly admins manage their population but also in the way they're configured, no map rotation, stupid time or score limits, unnecessary high player counts, all servers have 18 players when most maps can't handle that, the list goes on and on...
With matchmaking you have at least the possibility of enjoying the vanilla game, so yeah from time to time a kid would ruin the lobby with stupid scripts but it's something that even happens on PS3 and 360, you just leave the lobby and get matched again, also if you make a matchmaking playlist for kids who wanna run scripts like there was in aIW, you could probably manage this issue... some additions to the matchmaking system, like an option to blacklist certain players to avoid being matched with them could meddle this btw...
I'm not saying matchmaking is perfect, I'm just saying it's better if you want to enjoy a vanilla experience of the game and it's a great thing to have along dedicated servers, I'm not saying we should have one and not the other...
