Most moderation load is entirely self imposed as it is.
I keep saying it all the time: there's needless rules/limits about lobby hosting and kicks (self hosted lobbies are prevented from kicking undesirables), needless gameplay mechanics that only exist to grief (ally reclaim of units in factories), there's no automated AFK detection and punishment system in place, there's no leaver penalties, no friendly fire penalties, no chat filters, the existing kick system is barely functional and whoever is votekicked (or even admin kicked) can just rejoin back, accounts have absolutely no value since the very thought of limiting lobby rooms based on account age/rank/hours is high heresy, individual players can perpetually hold rooms hostage by timing their votes (no vote limits).
RTS is a niche genre, it's likely that even if this game had modernized the above archaic approach, it would remain niche. Also pretty sure there's not even an account recovery system in place.
