Concern About Servers Breaking T&C Still Being Live for Months

Server Owners

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed a growing concern among legitimate server owners, and I think it’s something worth openly discussing.

There are servers clearly breaking FiveM’s Terms & Conditions—whether it’s through pay-to-win mechanics, unauthorized use of copyrighted content, or other violations such as selling straight in game cash on their tebex page—and yet they remain live and active for 1-2 months after being reported. Meanwhile, servers trying to play by the rules are left wondering what the enforcement process actually looks like.

I understand that moderation takes time and resources, but the inconsistency is frustrating and honestly discouraging. It feels like smaller, rule-abiding servers are at a disadvantage while larger ones seem to bypass scrutiny even when they’re obviously breaking the rules.

Has anyone else experienced this or reported a server only to see it stay online for weeks after? Would love to hear thoughts from other server owners—and hopefully some insight from the moderation team if possible.

Let’s keep it respectful, but real. This kind of transparency matters for the future of our community.

Thanks!

Enforcement happens, but we’re totally in the dark about the process. Sometimes it takes a month, sometimes 6 months; there’s no follow-up or confirmation process.

For your own sake, I would recommend just doing your best job at reporting it (videos, images, etc) and moving on, because “compliance” in FiveM has always been an area of absolutely no transparency in FiveM.

Totally hear you, Noor — and yeah, that’s exactly the issue. We’re told to report, provide evidence, and then… silence. No ticket system, no status updates, not even a “we’re looking into this.” It just feels like everything vanishes into a black hole.

I get that moderation takes time, but the lack of transparency or consistency is what really discourages server owners who are actually trying to stay within the lines. Meanwhile, servers breaking rules openly (and profitably) just keep stacking players with zero consequence.

It’s not about policing the whole scene ourselves — it’s about having a fair system where rule-following actually means something.

Hopefully this conversation keeps gaining traction. The community deserves clarity, not confusion.
