Community Guidelines

5mdev exists for useful FiveM development discussions, code, opportunities, services, and resources. Be technically honest, respect people and licenses, disclose material risks, and leave the community more useful than you found it. These guidelines apply to profiles, posts, code, files, links, listings, applications, reviews, and private information submitted to moderation.

• Challenge ideas and code without degrading the person behind them.
• Do not harass, threaten, stalk, shame, or target people based on protected or personal characteristics.
• Do not publish private personal information, credentials, private messages, or identifying records without a lawful and necessary reason.
• Do not impersonate developers, teams, brands, staff, or verified accounts.
• Keep criticism specific and evidence-based; coordinated dogpiling and retaliation are not acceptable.

• No malware, backdoors, token grabbers, crypto miners, destructive payloads, credential theft, hidden telemetry, or intentionally unsafe dependencies.
• No code primarily designed to compromise systems, disrupt services, evade legitimate access controls, abuse players, or conceal malicious behavior.
• Disclose important permissions, network calls, dependencies, data collection, obfuscation, escrow restrictions, known incompatibilities, and material security risks.
• Use harmless, minimal examples when discussing vulnerabilities. Do not expose active targets, secrets, or weaponized instructions that create immediate risk.
• Test downloaded code in an isolated environment and review it before production use. A community post or trust badge is never a security guarantee.

Share only code, images, documentation, and resources you created or are authorized to distribute. Preserve attribution and license notices. Do not post leaked, cracked, escrow-bypassed, stolen, or deceptively rebranded resources. Clearly state the license or usage conditions when publishing reusable code.

• Describe scope, budget or pricing model, expected deliverables, relevant framework, and material constraints honestly.
• Do not advertise fake work, bait-and-switch pricing, pyramid schemes, credential harvesting, or suspicious payment arrangements.
• Do not demand extensive unpaid work under the guise of a “test.” Small, proportionate evaluations must be disclosed up front.
• Developers must not fabricate portfolios, experience, availability, verification, or client relationships.
• Use written milestones, ownership terms, and payment expectations. Keep production credentials out of public posts.

Paid resources must link to the supported commerce provider identified in the listing; free resources must use an allowed, honest download or repository link. Listings must match what users receive. Do not hide recurring fees, dependencies, IP locks, material limitations, or required subscriptions. Preview images and reviews must not be manipulated.

Reviews must reflect a genuine experience and disclose material conflicts. No purchased, reciprocal, coerced, duplicate, or retaliatory reviews. Reports must be submitted in good faith with relevant facts; knowingly false reports or attempts to weaponize moderation may lead to action.

Do not post repetitive promotions, irrelevant links, mass mentions, misleading tags, artificial engagement, or automated content that overwhelms discussion. Do not evade a restriction by creating alternate accounts or moving the same prohibited material to another feature.

Possible outcomes include guidance, labels, reduced visibility, content removal, loss of publishing privileges, verification removal, temporary suspension, or permanent termination. Severe malware, fraud, credible threats, doxxing, or repeat infringement may result in immediate restriction. Context, harm, intent, history, and cooperation may affect the response.

Use the in-product report control when available. For urgent safety, security, copyright, or appeal matters, email [email protected] with the relevant URL, account, evidence, and a concise explanation. Do not include passwords, private keys, or unnecessary sensitive data.
