Hello everyone,
This is probably the first time I’m sharing my opinion about CFX.
I want to clarify that this post is not meant to criticize or disrespect FiveM, RedM, or the CFX team in any way. I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that has gone into these platforms.
Instead, my goal is to highlight the major issues and suggest constructive solutions that could help improve the ecosystem for everyone involved. So here we go 
1. Communication
Over the past 12 months, communication has been one of the key challenges for CFX. The issue isn’t necessarily a lack of transparency, but rather the timing and clarity of communication.
A recent example is the Enhanced update / tools that was announced around 5 months ago here. Many in the community were left uncertain about its status, with little to no follow-up or clarification provided. Even more when third party platforms have manage to release this few weeks ago.
We understand that delays happen and that sometimes internal matters can’t be fully disclosed. However, a simple message can go a long way in maintaining trust and engagement with the community. Something like:
“We know we’ve mentioned upcoming features that are not yet available. While we didn’t provide a specific timeline, we want to assure you that we’re still working hard to deliver something we’ll be proud of. These features remain a priority, and we’ll share more as soon as we have updates ready for the public.”
This type of communication shows that CFX is listening, engaged, and committed—even if full details can’t be shared at the moment. It helps maintain a healthy relationship with the community and builds confidence in the ongoing development.
1.1 Community Pulse
Back in August, I proposed a new approach for sharing community pulses with the internal team. While some aspects of that vision have evolved, many of the originally proposed features are still viable and relevant today.
Unfortunately, this initiative was never fully continued by CFX, despite its potential. I strongly believe it should be revisited and restructured quickly.
A consistent community pulse allows people to:
- Understand what’s currently happening on the platform
- Provide meaningful feedback
- Feel more connected to the development process
If you’re unfamiliar with my original proposal, I encourage you to read it for more context and ideas:

Re-engaging with this type of initiative would show that CFX is willing to listen and evolve alongside its community.
1.2 Contact
While fairness across all servers is important, there should be additional support available for larger servers, particularly those that cross a certain threshold of active players.
This support wouldn’t mean special treatment, but rather direct communication with a CFX team member for questions regarding Terms of Service (ToS), compliance concerns, or general operational guidance. Maybe simply invited in the eng Discord.
Why is this valuable?
- Larger servers have greater impact on the community and player experience.
- With direct contact, they’re more likely to follow rules proactively, instead of reacting after a violation.
- It reduces misinterpretations of the ToS and helps prevent issues before they escalate.
Offering this kind of structured contact point could lead to better compliance, smoother operations, and a stronger relationship between server owners and the CFX team.
2. Compliance Team
While my friend @nex already raised some valid concerns, I’d like to expand further and offer concrete solutions to the issues surrounding the compliance team.
2.1 The perceived fairness problem
One of the most common frustrations among server owners is the lack of consistency in how ToS violations are handled. Here’s a common scenario:
- A small server with ~30 players uses some questionable assets (e.g., cars, clothing mods).
- The owner of the small server notices the same assets being used on a larger server (~250 players) without any action taken.
- The smaller server receives a compliance warning/ban.
- Weeks or even months pass, and the larger server remains unaffected.
- This creates a perception that larger servers are “protected” or favored, which deeply frustrates smaller creators.
This feeling is understandable. Until you’re directly affected, the system doesn’t seem broken but once it impacts your own project, the flaws become obvious.
2.2 A more scalable & equal system
With over 25,000 active servers and a small compliance team (e.g., Titanium and Neon), it’s understandable that moderation can’t be perfectly balanced. However, I propose a system to prioritize fairness and visibility:
- When reporting a server, require users to submit the server name or ID in a category (verified before submit).
- At the end of each week/month, the top XX most-reported servers should be prioritized for review, rather than processing reports randomly or based on DMs.
This system would ensure:
- Larger servers (who are more visible and influential) are held to the same standards.
- Reports are community-driven and volume-weighted, reducing bias.
This can also lead weird statement by owners “hey go report that server”, but CFX cannot control everything.
2.3 Ban enforcement & evasion prevention
Another major issue is ineffective enforcement of bans on CFX accounts that own non-compliant servers:
- Currently, when a server owner is banned, the server often continues to run until the next manual reboot.
- In the meantime, banned users can:
- Disable automatic reboots and stay online.
- Transfer assets or server control to another account.
- Spin up a new server with the same content and bypass enforcement.
To fix this, I recommend the following:
- When a CFX account is banned, the associated server should shut down immediately(not on next reboot.)
- The banned user should lose access to Keymaster assets instantly.
- A system should flag cases where a new server appears with the same name/content/country in the days following a ban. This could trigger an automatic review to prevent ban evasion.
These changes would make the compliance system:
- More transparent
- Harder to exploit
- And more fair across all server sizes
2.4 Fake boost
While fake players have been patched by adhesive team (nice job! 
), major issue is still fake boosts used by many many servers (even big ones). CFX knows the method used by people but no “proper” patch has been proposed since.
What if server owners were required to set a ConVar to specify which accounts are allowed to boost their server? (Maybe even by setting them on Portal directly) That way, imagine this:
- The PLA team catches a server using fake boosts.
- The server owner had explicitly allowed that account to boost their server.
In that case, the server could be banned since it would clearly be the server owner’s fault. This would make server owners think twice before allowing unknown accounts to boost.
Also, boosts could be limited based on server activity and history. For example:
- A newly created server with 30 players could be limited to 250 boosts, and any additional boosts would take 3–5 business days to activate, allowing time to detect fraud.
- A server with 500 active players could be allowed more boosts (e.g. up to 3000), depending on growth and legitimacy.
If a server owner wants to allow boosts from anyone, they should still be able to set a max limit for boosts using a ConVar.
If a server owner decides to open it to everyone with no limit and is caught using fake boosts, they should be banned, since they had the tools to prevent it.
This might not be the BEST method, but in my opinion, it could be a good step forward.
Please note this was proposed to the internal management 2 months ago. I will not disclose their answer, but they are working on some solutions!
2.5 Partnership
While it’s great to see CFX partnering with creators and projects, it’s important that official partners are also held to the same standards and ToS as everyone else.
A clear example is NVE (NaturalVision Evolved), which has been publicly known to request payments outside of the Tebex platform, despite this being against CFX guidelines. Yet, they continue to be recognized as an official CFX partner.
This raises a key question:
Why are certain partners seemingly exempt from the rules that apply to the rest of the community?
If fairness and transparency are core values, then all partners should be expected to follow the same rules, especially those in a position of influence.
CFX should either:
- Clarify exemptions and explain why they exist, or
- Ensure equal enforcement, regardless of a project’s popularity or legacy.
Otherwise, it creates confusion and weakens trust in the platform’s integrity.
3. Portal
The Portal is arguably the best feature CFX has released since the Rockstar acquisition. However, it’s still missing key elements, some of which I personally suggested over 7 months ago, and unfortunately, there’s been no visible update since.
As someone who manage the assets of 2 of the biggest creators on the platform, I believe I’m in a good position to provide relevant and impactful suggestions to improve it further.
If you’re interested in the feedback I originally shared, you can find it on the CFX Discord:
CFX Discord – Portal Feedback Message
The Portal has strong potential, but it needs continued iteration and responsiveness to community feedback to reach its full value.
Final thoughts
There’s much more that could be said about the platform, but the goal of this post was to highlight key issues and, more importantly, to offer constructive solutions, not just criticism.
I truly appreciate the hard work of the entire CFX team and recognize the challenges of maintaining and evolving such a massive ecosystem. This feedback comes from a place of care and a desire to see the platform remain healthy, fair, and thriving for everyone.
Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments but please remember to keep the discussion respectful. You may not agree with everything shared here, and that’s okay. This is simply one point of view, not an official statement.
Thanks for reading and go play some roleplay or whatever! 
, Now on my half i will give some insight.
