Administrators on a Natural Selection 2 server play a critical role in maintaining server stability and enforcing community standards within the game. The asymmetric design and reliance on a central Commander require oversight to prevent intentional sabotage or griefing of the strategic process. Moderators often intervene during matches to correct team imbalances and ensure competitive play remains viable. Active supervision serves as a primary deterrent against cheating and verbal abuse, fostering a functional gaming environment.
