Moderators in Necesse have access to a small set of basic commands that let them handle simple server tasks. These include checking who’s online, kicking players if needed, using the /say command to announce messages, and a few other minor tools.

All commands available to Moderators can be found using the /help command in-game, on the Official Wiki Page, or in the table below.
