How do whitelisted servers track players info?

I once applied for a whitelisted server and made it to the interview. When they asked me which servers I have played on before, I forgot to mention one I was only two days in. That was one of the reasons why they denied my interview. And I’m like how do they track your information? kinda scary and weird

Some people own, admin and/or are friends with other servers. There is a high likely hood that this is the case and you have a bad rep. I know when it comes to the bigger servers they tend to be very picky and make sure to try to know about who is in their servers.

But they don’t hack me (joke) or use my steam hex right? Because I was really confused when they said something about the other community I was in waaaay back

Well idk what they would use your steam hex for but I’m sure thry don’t. In theory however any server you join can log your ip. If someone was smart enough and wanted to there is a potential they could hack you but the liklihood of that happening is so small that I shouldn’t have mentioned it.

From my experience with FiveM there are people that litterally join a bunch of communities throughout the years and someone either knows you that makes the decisions on whitelisting or you just have a bad enough rep that you’re known. I’m not saying your rep means you’re a bad person or that you did anything wrong but someone likely doesn’t like you lol.
