This is a community for modding the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5. People here discuss GTA 5 modding, the modding tools used, mod programming, and reverse engineering the GTA 5 engine. The rules spell out who belongs: PC modders, people who build or work on mods, and people who dig into how the game engine works under the hood. The rules also spell out who does not belong here: console players, glitch hunters, and people searching for other players. So think of this as a workshop for PC mod creators and tinkerers, not a general GTA 5 hangout. If your product, tool, or content helps someone make, test, or understand mods for GTA 5 on PC, you are in the right room. If it helps someone play the game, find lobbies, or mess around on a console, you are in the wrong one.
The rule that decides everything for a founder is “Advertising”, because it is strictly forbidden to advertise for social media, other sites, stores, or services, with a narrow exception for posts that directly request a link, official pages of related communities, and content related to the topic of the post. “Spam” matters next, since content not directly related to the subreddit topic counts as spam, and out of topic posts include glitches, player searches, and anything related to consoles. “Repetitive content” gets your post pulled if you did not search old posts first, because moderators reserve the right to remove repetitive or popular topics. “Post title and content” shapes how you write, since titles must not be all capitals, must not have an excessive number of special characters, and must accurately describe the content. “Selling/Sharing accounts” is a hard stop on any account talk, and providing cracked or unofficially sourced mods leads to an immediate ban. “Accusations” applies if you ever think about calling out a bad actor, because posts with accusations need high quality extensive evidence.
A good post here is a genuine contribution to PC GTA 5 modding, written in clear English with real detail. If you built a mod tool, a script, or a resource for the modding scene, show your work in the post body with as much information as possible, and write a title that accurately describes what people will find. If you are learning the engine or reverse engineering parts of it, share what you found and ask a specific question. Search the subreddit first with the search bar, and if your topic has been covered before, add something new to that discussion instead of starting a duplicate post. For anything marketing adjacent, the safe shape is a post that is useful on its own, with the topic directly related to modding, and any link appearing only where the rules allow it, such as when the post directly requests a link or when it is an official page of a related community. Write in proper English and keep images high quality, because the spam rule removes posts with incorrect English or low quality images.
Avoid console topics entirely, including anything related to consoles, glitches, or searching for players. Avoid advertising your social media, store, or service unless the narrow exception applies, meaning the post directly requests a link, it is an official page of a related community, and it is related to the topic. Never offer to sell, buy, or share accounts, and never provide cracked mods or mods from unofficial sources, because that gets an immediate ban. Avoid reposting topics that have already been covered, since moderators remove repetitive or popular topics and expect you to research first using the search bar or old posts. Avoid bad titles, meaning all capitals, excessive special characters, or titles that do not match the content. Avoid posting accusations without extensive, high quality evidence, because unproven posts get removed and false claims can get you banned. Avoid spam in the literal sense the rule uses: incorrect English, low quality images, and anything not directly related to PC modding.

Only if the post directly requests a link, your page is an official page of a related community, and your content is related to the topic of the post. Those conditions come straight from the Advertising rule, and missing any one of them makes the post removable.
Yes. This community is explicitly for the PC version of the game, and the out of topics list in the Spam rule includes anything related to consoles.
No. The Selling/Sharing accounts rule says it is strictly forbidden to advertise for or sell accounts of any kind, and any request for accounts will be removed.
Use the search bar or scroll through old posts by date. If your topic has been covered, moderators can remove your post as repetitive.
Yes, but only if you include high quality extensive evidence. Without it, moderators can delete the post, and a false accusation can get the author banned.
