Ban Configuration Options

Global Ban Settings

1. Navigate to Settings → Ban Templates
2. Configure:
   • Default ban duration
   • Predefined ban reasons
   • Ban message template
   • Hardware ID banning (if enabled)

Ban Identifiers Priority

txAdmin bans multiple identifiers by default:

1. Hardware IDs (most effective)
2. Steam ID
3. FiveM license
4. Xbox Live ID
5. Discord ID
6. IP address (optional, not recommended)

Verifying and Managing Bans

Check Active Bans

1. Go to Gracze → Bans
2. View all active bans with:
   • Player identifiers
   • Ban reason
   • Admin who issued ban
   • Expiration date/time

Revoke a Ban

1. Navigate to Gracze → Bans
2. Find the banned player
3. Click Revoke Ban
4. Provide reason for revocation
5. Confirm action

Important Considerations

Ban Evasion Prevention

• Włącz Hardware ID banning in settings
• Use multiple identifiers when possible
• Monitor for VPN usage if IP bans are enabled
• Check for alternate accounts with shared identifiers

Ban Documentation

Always include in ban reasons:

• Specific rule violated
• Evidence type (video/screenshot/logs)
• Incident date/time
• Severity level

Example: “Rule 2.1 – VDM – Video evidence #4521 – 2024-03-15 14:30 – Second offense”

Appeal Process

Configure ban messages to include:

• Appeal discord/website
• Ban ID for reference
• Expected response time

Troubleshooting

“Insufficient Permissions” Error

• Verify your txAdmin role has ban permissions
• Check if target player has higher immunity level
• Ensure you’re logged into txAdmin properly

Ban Not Taking Effect

1. Check if player disconnected before ban was processed
2. Verify all identifiers were captured
3. Restart resource monitor: /restart monitor
4. Check txAdmin logs for errors

Player Rejoining Despite Ban

• Confirm Hardware ID banning is enabled
• Check if player is using a VPN/proxy
• Verify ban wasn’t accidentally revoked
• Review ban list for duplicate entries

Performance Notes

• Bans are checked on connection attempt (minimal server impact)
• Ban list is cached in memory
• Large ban lists (>10,000) may increase initial load time
• Regular ban list cleanup recommended for expired bans

Practical checklist

Use this guide as a staging checklist before changing a live FiveM server. Confirm the current server artifact version, framework version, resource dependencies, database changes, and any client-side files before you apply the change.

• Back up the affected configuration files and database tables.
• Apply the change on a test server first.
• Watch the server console and client F8 console for errors.
• Check whether the change affects jobs, inventory, vehicles, maps, voice, permissions, or player data.
• Document the exact file, command, or setting you changed so it can be reverted quickly.

Testing before production

After the first test, join with a normal player account and repeat the flow from the player perspective. If the topic involves performance, measure before and after with the same player count, route, and resource set. If it involves admin tools or permissions, verify both allowed and denied users.

Common mistakes

Most FiveM issues come from missing dependencies, stale cache, wrong folder names, framework mismatch, or configuration copied from another server. Avoid changing multiple systems at once; make one change, test it, and then continue.

Related resources

For production-ready assets, compare paid resources in the FiveMX shop. For free resources, browse free FiveM scripts and test each resource before using it publicly.

Production rollout notes

Before using this guidance on a live FiveM server, define the exact outcome you expect from the change. For FiveM & txAdmin: How To Ban a Player, that means checking which resource, setting, command, or workflow is affected and confirming that the change fits your current framework, artifact version, and server rules. Keep the rollout small enough that you can reverse it quickly if players report errors.

Use a staging server with the same framework, database schema, resource order, and key dependencies as production. If the topic changes gameplay, permissions, visuals, voice, vehicles, maps, inventory, or economy behavior, test with at least one admin account and one normal player account. Watch server console output, client F8 logs, and resource timing while repeating the exact player flow that will happen on the live server.

Rollback checklist

• Save the previous configuration file, resource folder, and database state before changing anything.
• Record the resource version, commit, download page, or setting value you tested.
• Restart only the affected resource first when possible, then restart the full server if dependencies require it.
• If errors appear, revert the single changed resource or setting before testing another fix.

Maintenance guidance

Review this setup again after FiveM artifact updates, framework updates, or major resource changes. A configuration that works today can break after dependency updates, renamed exports, changed events, or database migrations. Keep notes with your server documentation so future admins understand what was changed, why it was changed, and how to verify it again.

Ongoing review

Recheck FiveM & txAdmin: How To Ban a Player after major FiveM artifact updates, framework changes, or resource migrations. Confirm that the advice still matches current server behavior, that any linked source remains available, and that installation steps still match the files a server owner will actually download or configure.

For public servers, keep a short changelog beside your server documentation. Note what was tested, what changed, which accounts were used for verification, and how to roll back. This makes future maintenance faster and prevents old setup notes from becoming unclear or unsafe for players.
