r/FiveM rules

6 rules, in the community's own words.

  1. 1

    Adhere to the FiveM ToS

    Yes, legalese is boring, but we must protect ourselves – and by extension, you and your data – against unfriendly folks. We have a Terms of Service describing your (and our) behavior and rights related to content, privacy, and laws. https://fivem.net/terms

  2. 2

    If you see a problem, report it

    Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this subreddit. But so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police. When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just report it. If enough reports accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.

  3. 3

    Always be Civil

    Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:

    • Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
    • Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
    • Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.
    • Respect our subreddit. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
  4. 4

    Buying / Selling

    No advertising, buying, selling or begging for stuff. This includes, but is not limited to offering paid User Generated Content, developer services, vehicles, merchandise, and games. Exceptions are made for server advertisements. Also ToS abiding selling via Tebex is not allowed. Please use the Cfx forum to advertise your product(s)

  5. 5

    Harassment / Trolling

    Follow reddiquette, don't harass other users and don't troll. The downvote system should take care of most trolls. But this is the internet. Trolls are everywhere. Don't encourage them by responding to their posts and comments. Simply downvote and report. Impersonating a CitizenFX Collective member is also considered trolling. Do not wish harm upon anyone.

  6. 6

    Not FiveM related / Off-topic

    Posts should be related to FiveM. We do not allow posts about other modifications. Generic GTA modification content is also considered off-topic, unless adding to the conversation.

What to post in r/FiveM

What fits the room, and what gets removed.

Works well

  • A server advertisement, which the “Buying / Selling” rule explicitly allows as an exception
  • A writeup of a script or resource you built for FiveM, shared for free with no offer to sell it
  • A question about a FiveM development problem you are stuck on, inviting others to share how they solved it
  • A lesson learned from running a FiveM server, told as a story other server owners can learn from
  • A helpful answer to someone else's question about servers or development, with no promotion attached

Avoid

  • Offering paid user generated content, developer services, vehicles, merchandise, or games, because the “Buying / Selling” rule bans all of that
  • Posting a paid product or service ad here instead of the Cfx forum, which the “Buying / Selling” rule points you to
  • Selling through Tebex, which the “Buying / Selling” rule says is not allowed even when it follows the FiveM terms
  • Posting about other GTA modifications or generic GTA modding content, which the “Not FiveM related / Off-topic” rule removes
  • Being rude, obscene, harassing, or trolling, which breaks the “Always be Civil” and “Harassment / Trolling” rules
  • Replying to trolls instead of downvoting and reporting them, which the “Harassment / Trolling” rule warns against

Best hours to post in r/FiveM

No pattern yet. r/FiveM does not have enough top posts from the last 90 days to name its best hours.

What r/FiveM Is For

This is the subreddit for FiveM, a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V. The people here play on FiveM servers, run those servers, and build things for the FiveM platform. You will find players looking for servers, server owners talking about their communities, and developers discussing scripts and resources. The rules make clear that the room is about FiveM specifically, not about GTA modding in general or other modifications.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Four rules decide whether a marketing adjacent post survives here. The “Buying / Selling” rule is the big one. It bans advertising, buying, selling, and begging for stuff, and it names paid user generated content, developer services, vehicles, merchandise, and games as examples. The one exception is server advertisements, so promoting a FiveM server is allowed while promoting a paid tool or service is not. The same rule says that selling through Tebex is not allowed even when it follows the terms, and it points sellers to the Cfx forum instead. The “Not FiveM related / Off-topic” rule requires posts to be about FiveM, and it counts generic GTA modification content as off topic unless it adds to the conversation. The “Always be Civil” rule bans rudeness, offensive or abusive content, obscenity, harassment, impersonation, and spam. Finally, the “Adhere to the FiveM ToS” rule requires every post to respect the FiveM terms of service, which matters if your post touches on anything commercial or technical.

What To Post

If you run a FiveM server, a server advertisement is the one promotional post shape the rules explicitly allow, so lead with that if it applies to you. Beyond that, post things that are clearly about FiveM and that add to the conversation. Share a script or resource you built and explain how it works, answer questions from server owners, or write up a lesson you learned running a server. If your product helps FiveM server owners, the respectful move is to participate as a community member first and keep any offer of paid work off this subreddit, using the Cfx forum for that instead. Ask genuine questions about server management, development problems, or the platform, because helpful discussion is what this room is built for.

What To Avoid

Do not advertise, buy, sell, or beg for anything, and do not offer paid user generated content, developer services, vehicles, merchandise, or games. Do not try to sell through Tebex here, and do not treat this subreddit as a substitute for the Cfx forum when you want to advertise a product. Do not post about other modifications or about generic GTA modding, because that is off topic. Do not be rude, obscene, abusive, or harassing, and do not impersonate anyone, including members of the CitizenFX Collective. Do not reply to trolls or bad actors, because the rules ask you to downvote and report instead. And make sure anything you post respects the FiveM terms of service.

A note from Anthony

What stands out to me is how clearly this community separates two things that founders often blur: a server advertisement is welcome, but almost any other offer of paid stuff is not. The rule telling people to report problems instead of replying tells you the room values calm over arguments. If you build anything for this space, treat the Cfx forum as your storefront and this subreddit as a place to be a helpful member of the scene. That split is the whole game here.
