Setting Rules and Guidelines Early

Every successful FiveM server needs a clear set of rules and guidelines. Without them, players won’t know what’s expected, and your staff won’t have a fair way to handle issues. Rules create structure, consistency, and help build a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone.

Make sure your rules are:

• Clear and simple — easy to understand for new players.

• Fair and balanced — no favoritism or “unwritten rules.”

• Enforced consistently — everyone, including staff, should follow them.

Strong guidelines help prevent drama, encourage roleplay, and show players that your server is serious about quality and fairness.
