Summary
Insurgency: Sandstorm servers have multiple commands that allow server administrators to moderate and direct the flow of the server. RCON has multiple functions, such as changing levels, banning or kicking players, and displaying gamemode information. This is especially useful for Public Servers as players looking to cause trouble may grieve or cheat and can be swiftly banned by utilizing RCON commands. In addition, the commands can be executed by using remote clients.
