How to Report a FiveM Server: A Practical Guide

FiveM has become a cornerstone of the GTA Online community, offering custom role‑play and creative mode experiences. When a server violates Rockstar’s policies or the FiveM Platform License Agreement (PLA), it’s essential to report it in a clear, evidence‑packed manner so that compliance teams can act quickly and decisively. Below is a step‑by‑step guide that combines recent policy updates, proven evidence‑gathering techniques, and the most effective reporting channels.

1. Understand the Current Enforcement Landscape

Rockstar’s acquisition of the GTA Online brand in August 2023 prompted a comprehensive policy overhaul. FiveM’s compliance team now prioritizes three core areas: 1. Intellectual Property (IP) Protection – Real‑world car models, logos, and other brand assets are strictly prohibited. 2. Monetization Restrictions – Any form of in‑game profit that violates the new Tebex exclusivity rules, including loot boxes, cryptocurrencies, or NFTs, is off‑limits. 3. Child Safety – Servers that expose minors to inappropriate content or provide them with in‑game purchasing mechanisms are treated as a top‑priority security risk. The compliance team’s primary inbox is , with a typical 24‑72 hour acknowledgment window. For IP‑related violations, you can also reach out to , and legacy reports should be directed to . For non‑technical reporters, the web portal at support.cfx.re/hc/en‑us/requests/new serves as a quick entry point.

2. Gather Robust, Forensic‑Quality Evidence

The key to a fast investigation is a clean, timestamped, and verifiable evidence archive. Below are proven tools for collecting screenshots, video captures, and network logs.

2.1 Screenshots with Metadata

``` scrot -s 'evidence_%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.png' -e 'exiftool -all= $f' ``` This command captures a window with a file name that reflects the exact date and time. `exiftool` strips away potentially identifying metadata, ensuring privacy compliance.

2.2 Video Capture with Overlay

``` ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0 -vf drawtext=text='%{localtime:%Y-%m-%d %H\:%M\:%S}':x=10:y=10:fontsize=24:fontcolor=white:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.5 -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast evidence.mp4 ``` The timestamp overlay provides an unambiguous timeline of the offending activity, vital for the compliance team’s verification.

2.3 Network Traffic and Server ID

```

Capture DDoS‑style traffic

tcpdump -i eth0 -w ddos_evidence.pcap 'port 30120'

Extract server metadata

curl -s https://servers-frontend.fivem.net/api/servers/single/SERVER\_ID | jq '{name: .data.hostname, ip: .data.connectEndPoints[0], owner: .data.ownerName}' ``` These data points confirm the server’s IP address, public name, and owner identity, which are essential for any official complaint.

3. Structure the Report for Clarity and Impact
