VanityRP

Server Rules

This server is focused on serious roleplay, and our rules are strictly enforced. We are NOT a 100k or die city. This is a serious RP server. Bans can be appealed if you can provide sufficient evidence proving they were unjust or mistaken; otherwise, all bans are permanent.

It is extremely important that you read, understand, and follow the rules. Rules are subject to change at any time. Updates to rules are posted in the #rule-updates Discord channel. Ignorance of the rules will not exempt you from consequences. By joining the server, you agree that you have read and will comply with all the rules.

Our staff team is here to ensure the rules are upheld. If a specific punishment isn't outlined for a violation, staff will impose a penalty they deem appropriate. If you believe you were wrongly punished, you have the right to file an appeal.

📌
The Number One Rule
This server prioritizes serious roleplay, and the rules are strictly enforced. If you believe a ban was unfair, you may appeal with proper evidence; otherwise, bans are permanent. It's crucial that you fully read, understand, and follow the rules. Claiming ignorance won't protect you from consequences. By joining, you confirm that you've read and agree to the rules. Our staff team ensures that all rules are followed. If a specific punishment isn't listed, staff will apply a fitting penalty. If you think you were wrongly punished, you have the right to appeal.
§1

General Guidelines

1.1Adult Community
VanityRP's community consists of adults above the age of 18. This is an 18+ city.
1.2Have a Clipping Software
When making a ticket be sure you include a minimum of a 2 minute clip using a clipping software such as Medal, Steelseries, NVIDIA, or Twitch. If you need help with uploading a Medal clip please open a ticket and we will help you. Do not trim the clip as clips under 2 minutes are not eligible to be utilized. By posting clips in #ingame-clips, you are also consenting to us potentially uploading these to social media websites to showcase the city.

Clips will not be accepted unless they are uncut and at least 2 minutes long. Clips will not be accepted if they are over 3 hours old. This is to avoid petty ticket making. If you see an issue — report it immediately.
1.3Behavior
  • Bullying, Harassment or Targeting will be punished with a permanent ban without a chance of appeal. We will always attempt to get all points of view in these matters and hard proof is necessary on both sides.
  • If you have been told by staff to avoid a certain person for some time to minimize reports and conflict, you must follow those orders or it can result in a permanent ban. Failure to do so will be considered violating targeting and harassment rules.
  • Any form of discrimination, racism, sexual harassment or sexism will be punished with a ban without an appeal. Racial, ableist, homophobic, transphobic slurs or slurs of ANY kind are not allowed regardless of what context you say them in.
  • While swearing is allowed, we do not want personal slurs or general harassment directed towards anyone outside of roleplay.
  • Any threats made to the community or a person will be taken very seriously. A permanent ban will be given without the chance to appeal.
  • Staff reserves the right to ban any person from our servers at any time if they are found to be disruptive, harmful or toxic or if we have a valid reason to think that they are here to be disruptive and not provide quality RP.
  • The majority of our community is made up of NA, EU & AUS players where English is the primary language. You must speak English on our server so that you can properly interact with other players.
1.4Staff Respect
Please show respect to our staff team, even if you disagree with their decisions. They volunteer their time to maintain a welcoming environment and sometimes must make difficult calls at their discretion. Dissing the staff or server as well as poaching will be a permanent ban with no appeal. We encourage players to use the proper form for suggestions in the suggestions channel in the VanityRP Discord. But please remain respectful.

The VanityRP staff is expected to treat all players with respect, and we ask the same from our players. If you have concerns about a staff member's actions or decisions, you can submit a ticket in the VanityRP Discord.

Where Serious Stories Meet Next-Level RP

How to Use These Rules

These rules are organized into clear sections so you can find what you need quickly — whether you're a new player learning the basics or staff referencing a specific policy.

§1

Navigation

1.1Sidebar
Use the left sidebar to jump directly to any section by category. Each category contains its own subpages.
1.2Search
Use the search bar at the top of the sidebar to find specific rules by keyword.
1.3Page Format
Each page follows a consistent format — intro, numbered rule cards, callout boxes for important notes, and punishment tags where applicable.
§2

Reading Callout Boxes

🚫
Danger / Permanent Ban: This action results in an immediate or permanent ban, potentially without appeal.
⚠️
Warning / Important: Pay close attention. This rule is frequently misunderstood or commonly broken.
ℹ️
Note / Clarification: Additional context or an exception to the rule above.
Allowed: This is explicitly permitted behavior.
Core Policy: Foundational rules that apply across the entire server.

Enforcement Philosophy

VanityRP enforces its rules firmly and consistently. Our goal is not to punish players — it is to protect the quality of roleplay for everyone in the city.

§1

How Staff Handle Violations

1.1All Points of View
Staff will always attempt to gather all perspectives before making a decision. Hard proof is required from all parties in serious cases.
1.2Unspecified Punishments
If no specific punishment is listed for a violation, staff will determine an appropriate consequence based on severity and context.
1.3Repeat Offenses
Repeat offenses will be treated more severely than first-time violations.
1.4Final Decisions
Staff decisions are final during a scene. Appeals must be submitted after the fact through the proper Discord ticket system.
§2

No-Appeal Permanent Ban Offenses

🚫
The following result in an immediate permanent ban with zero chance of appeal:

Harassment or targeted bullying · Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any slurs · Rape RP, Sexual Harassment RP, Sex Trafficking, Transphobia RP, Homophobia RP, Racist RP, Terrorist RP, Cult RP, or Suicide RP · Sharing pornographic content in-game or in Discord · Item duplication · Ban evasion · Real-money trading · Threats against any community member.
§3

Ban Guidelines

Your first offense for most rules is a warning. Exceptions apply — see below. After that, repeat offenses escalate quickly. Take your warning seriously.
3.1First Offense = Warning (Most Rules)
For the majority of rule breaks, your first offense will result in a warning rather than a ban. This only applies once — subsequent violations will escalate to bans.

The following offenses skip the warning entirely and result in an immediate ban on first offense:
  • F8ing / Combat Logging
  • RDM / VDM
  • Cheating / Exploiting
  • Slurs of any kind
  • OOC (going out of character)
3.25 Different Offenses = Permanent Ban
Accumulating 5 separate offenses — even across different rules — results in a permanent ban. Each distinct rule violation counts toward your total regardless of which rules were broken.

EXAMPLE — 5 Different Offenses
1stRDM
2ndMetagaming
3rdFail RP — Talking while flatbacked
4thSeeing the light mid-scene
5thOOC — Talking about the server out of characterPERMANENT BAN
3.33 of the Same Offense = Permanent Ban
Committing the same rule violation 3 times results in a permanent ban, regardless of whether they happened in different situations or locations.

EXAMPLE — 3x Same Offense (RDM)
1stRDM at Route 68 Gas Station
2ndRDM at the Airport
3rdRDM at the Hardware StorePERMANENT BAN
⚠️
Bans are tracked cumulatively. Don't assume a new situation resets your record. Every offense is logged — staff can see your full history.
Staff Discretion
§4

Staff Discretion

🚫
At management's discretion, if staff believe a player is harmful or toxic to the community, it may not always follow the standard ban structure. The guidelines above are a framework — not a guarantee.
4.1Immediate Permanent Ban at Staff Discretion
If a player demonstrates within a short time that they have no intention of following the rules or contributing to serious roleplay, staff may issue an immediate permanent ban with no appeal.

Example — New Player, 1 Hour in City
1️⃣RDM / VDM
2️⃣Robbed EMS while on duty
3️⃣Speaking OOC repeatedlyPERMA · NO APPEAL
4.2We Reserve the Right
We reserve the right to ban players who do not contribute to serious roleplay and are not willing to learn. If your actions show that you are here to grief, troll, or disrupt the experience of others — you will be removed.

Toxicity will not be tolerated.

RP Language Guide

VanityRP uses in-character terms to refer to out-of-character concepts. Use these at all times to stay immersed and avoid breaking character.

⚠️
Using out-of-character terms in city is an OOC violation. Learn these — they keep the immersion alive for everyone.

Help & Setup Guide

New to FiveM or having trouble getting in? This page covers everything you need to get into VanityRP and fix common issues.

§1

What You Need

1.1Requirements
You need a Windows PC with a legitimate copy of GTA V installed. GTA V is available on Steam, Epic Games Store, or the Rockstar Launcher. Make sure you launch GTA V in single-player at least once before installing FiveM — this registers your game license.

Recommended specs: 8GB RAM minimum, a capable GPU, and a stable internet connection.
§2

Installing FiveM

1Head to fivem.net and download the FiveM client.
2Run the installer — it will automatically detect your GTA V installation path.
3Launch FiveM and sign in with your Cfx.re account. Create one for free if you don't have one.
4Open the server browser (magnifying glass icon), search for "VanityRP", and hit Connect.
5You may need to wait in a queue during peak hours. Once loaded, create your character and you're in.
§3

Setting Up Voice Chat

If your mic isn't working or you can't hear others, follow these steps:

1Press ESC to open the main menu.
2Click the Settings tab at the top.
3Select Voice Chat from the left-hand sidebar.
4Make sure both Voice Chat Enabled and Microphone Enabled are turned ON.
5Set Voice Chat Volume to a comfortable level.
6Under Output Device, select your headset or speakers.
7Set your Voice Volume to at least 80% so others can hear you clearly.
8Under Input Device, select the correct microphone.
§4

Can't Hear Anyone / Mic Not Working

Already set up voice chat but still having issues?

1Press ESC and go to Settings → Voice Chat.
2Confirm that Voice Chat Enabled and Microphone Enabled are both ON.
3If they're already on, toggle them OFF and back ON to force a refresh.
ℹ️
Still not working? The issue may be on the other player's end — pass this guide along to them.
§5

Fixing Texture Issues

If textures aren't loading or things look low quality, increasing your texture budget usually fixes it:

1Press ESC to open the main menu.
2Go to Settings → Graphics.
3Scroll down to Extended Texture Budget.
4Move the slider up — aim for at least halfway, or higher as long as your Video Memory indicator at the top isn't maxed out.
§6

Trouble Loading Into the Server

Stuck on a loading screen or can't connect? Try these steps in order:

1Clear your FiveM cache — corrupted cache files are the most common cause of loading issues. Search YouTube for "How to Clear FiveM Cache" for a quick walkthrough.
2Make sure Discord is open and running before you launch FiveM. The server uses Discord to verify your roles and permissions.
3Restart your PC and power cycle your modem or router to refresh your connection. Make sure your internet is stable.
§7

Sending Money to Another Player

1Open your phone using your assigned keybind.
2Find and tap the Wallet app.
3Hit the Send button next to your current balance.
4Enter the phone number of the player you want to send money to.
5Click Next, enter the amount, and confirm.
Still need help? If none of the above resolves your issue, open a support ticket in Discord and our team will assist you directly. Do not try to handle issues yourself in-game — that's what the team is here for.

General Rules

These rules apply to every player, at all times, across every aspect of VanityRP.

§1

Character & Identity

1.1Stay in Character
You are to stay in character at all times. If you are caught going out of character (OOC), you will be punished.
1.2Realistic Character Names
Character names must be appropriate and realistic. Names containing any offensive language, "troll names," or trademarked names that would break TOS are not acceptable and will result in character deletion and/or a ban. Names that are offensive in nature or based on real-world individuals such as serial killers or other notorious figures are also not permitted. These cases may result in immediate character deletion without warning and can lead to permanent bans due to the offensive nature of the name.
1.3Default Danny
You must create your character when you first fly into city. Do not attempt to roleplay as the default character you spawn in as. If you do not create your character at the beginning, please open a ticket for assistance in the VanityRP Discord.
1.4Clothing
If you are not indoors, you must wear clothing. Running around nude is a bannable offense outdoors or in public areas.
§2

Server Conduct

2.1Server Restarts
Scenes should not be started 15 minutes before a server restart (tsunami).
2.2Roleplay Before Gunplay
Your main goal in the city should not be to just "shoot." You should be creating storylines and only shoot IF it makes sense for that storyline to have gunplay. There are so many ways to creatively roleplay and we encourage our players to prioritize roleplay over gunplay. "Rob Farming" (continuously robbing as a means to make money) is NOT allowed.
2.3Going AFK
If you have to go AFK, make sure to fly out or go to a private area in which you cannot be robbed. We will not return items if you have been robbed somewhere public while AFK.
2.4Scamming
It is against the server rules to scam a player for VanityRP Shop vehicles, for any Tebex voucher, or for any in-city item/vehicle valued over $20,000 city cash.
§3

Items & Economy

3.1Transferring Information / Items
Do not transfer money or info between characters. The knowledge, items, relationships, and money your characters have are exclusive to one character. If you make a new character you have to start fresh and relearn everything. You are NOT your cousin character.
3.2Kill or Rob
This is a KILL or ROB city. If you put someone on their back you are no longer allowed to rob them. You cannot rob them, then put them on their back. Violating this rule can result in a pocket wipe and/or ban.

Exception: If you leave a player on their side to remember the story and further the RP, you may rob them.
3.3Inappropriate Graphic Content
Inappropriate material, such as pornographic videos or images, is strictly forbidden in VanityRP. Any player caught playing, displaying, or distributing such graphic content in-game will be permanently banned without appeal.
§4

Graphics Mods

⚠️
Graphics or mods/packs/equipment that give you a gameplay or PvP advantage such as hitmarkers, blood effects, kill effects, tracers, no water, FOV sliders, aim assist, aim bot, etc. are not allowed and will result in a permanent ban. NVE and visual packs that give no advantage are okay.

Behavior & Community Standards

VanityRP is a community first. These standards exist to keep it a place where everyone can have a quality experience.

🚫
Zero Tolerance: Bullying, harassment, targeting, discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and slurs of any kind result in a permanent ban with no appeal.
§1

Harassment & Targeting

1.1Harassment
Harassment is not allowed. This means do not repeatedly kill or "hunt" the same person. This includes harassing women — if they aren't open to your advances, leave them alone. Don't escalate because they aren't interested. Harassment is a permanent ban with no appeal.
1.2Staff Orders
If staff have told you to avoid a certain person for some time to minimize reports and conflict, you must follow those orders or it can result in a permanent ban. Failure to do so will be considered violating targeting and harassment rules.
1.3Threats
Any threats made to the community or a person will be taken very seriously. A permanent ban will be given without the chance to appeal.
1.4Ban Evasion
Ban evasion is NOT allowed. After you have been banned, you may not play on other accounts to get around the ban or attempt anything that might trick staff into thinking you're a different person. This will result in a permanent ban for both your banned account and your new account without appeal.
§2

Staff Respect

2.1Respect Staff
Show respect to all staff members, even when you disagree with a decision. They volunteer their time to keep this community running.
2.2Dissing & Poaching
Dissing the staff or server, or poaching players to another community, is a permanent ban with no appeal.
2.3Staff Concerns
If you have a concern about a staff member's actions or decisions, you can submit a ticket in the VanityRP Discord.

Clips & Evidence Requirements

All reports and reimbursement requests require video evidence. Here's exactly what we accept.

§1

Clip Requirements

1.1Minimum Length
All clips must be a minimum of 2 minutes long and uncut. Clips under 2 minutes are not eligible to be utilized.
1.2Time Limit
Clips will not be accepted if they are over 3 hours old. This is to avoid petty ticket making. If you see an issue, report it immediately.
1.3Your POV
To receive reimbursement for a ticket, you must provide a 2 minute clip that includes player IDs, full context including audio, of the scene in YOUR POV.
1.4Accepted Software
Medal, SteelSeries GG, NVIDIA ShadowPlay, and Twitch are all accepted. If you need help uploading a Medal clip, open a ticket and staff will assist.
§2

Petty Tickets

ℹ️
NO PETTY TICKETS WILL BE REVIEWED FOR REIMBURSEMENT. We are not responsible for lost items due to inventory being full. Transfer items in small quantities.
⚠️
By posting clips in #ingame-clips, you are consenting to VanityRP potentially uploading these to social media websites to showcase the city.

Core RP Standards

VanityRP is a serious roleplay server. Every player is expected to prioritize storytelling, character consistency, and immersive roleplay above all else.

§1

Stay in Character

1.1Always in Character
You are to stay in character at all times. If you are caught going out of character (OOC), you will be punished.
1.2Rulesplaining
Rulesplaining is not allowed. If the rules are broken during a scene, finish the scene in character and provide a 2 minute clip of the rulebreakers to staff in a ticket.
1.3/me Command
The use of /me is to be used only to further RP, for example, using them as actions.
1.4Calling for Help
Use /911e to get ahold of EMS or /911p for the Police. Do not call for EMS help while actively in a scene — you must wait until the scene has finished. When incapacitated or downed you cannot provide tactical information to your friends, faction, or the police. You must roleplay as you are injured.
1.5Tow Trucks
Tow Trucks are to be used for realistic and legal mechanic roleplay. Reports of tow trucks in criminal activity may result in the business losing their job garage with no refund.
1.6Body Dumping
You may body dump players (e.g. ocean dumping). However, this does not permanently kill their character.
§2

Roleplay Before Gunplay

2.1Storytelling First
Your main goal in the city should not be to just "shoot." You should be creating storylines and only shoot IF it makes sense for that storyline to have gunplay. There are so many ways to creatively roleplay and we encourage our players to prioritize roleplay over gunplay.
2.2Rob Farming
Continuously robbing as a means to make money ("Rob Farming") is NOT allowed.
2.3Friendly Shootouts
Friendly shootouts are NOT allowed. You cannot tell Police, EMS or staff you were simply having fun killing each other with guns — this will lead to punishment. If you want a friendly shootout, head to the paintball arena.
§3

GTA Driving

3.1Realistic Driving
Players are expected to drive realistically at all times. All players are required to adhere to real-world traffic rules and norms while operating vehicles. This includes respecting traffic lights, yielding to pedestrians, and maintaining reasonable speeds.
3.2Reckless Driving
Driving recklessly (continuously crashing into signs/poles, driving your exotic cars offroad, etc.) is considered NVL and is a punishable offense.
§4

Prohibited RP

🚫
Rape RP, Sexual Harassment RP, Sex Trafficking, Transphobia RP, Homophobia RP, Racist RP, Terrorist RP, Cult RP, and Suicide RP are NOT permitted on this server by any means. Any type of RP under these categories is an immediate and permanent ban with no chance of appeal.

Sex RP is only permitted in fully private areas. Doing so publicly will result in hefty punishment.

RDM, VDM & Combat Rules

Random Deathmatch (RDM) and Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM) are serious violations. Read every subsection carefully.

§1

Random Deathmatch (RDM)

⚠️
45-Second Interaction Rule:
  • At least 45 seconds of quality RP is required before robbing or killing a player.
  • This interaction must include valid reasoning and quality roleplay — time alone is not enough.
  • Staff reserves the right to punish for Fail RP regardless of interaction time. If the scene lasts 45 seconds but the RP provides no valid reason for hostility, it will still be considered RDM.
  • You can't count someone else's interaction as yours — each player must have their own.
  • You cannot start an interaction with a gun drawn.
  • The 45-second rule also applies in Yellow Zones — see the Green Zones page for full details on Yellow Zones, no-killing areas, and KOS zones.
1.1Personal Interaction
You must personally have the 45-second interaction. Your friend's interaction time does not count for you. Everyone involved in the scene must be actively communicating and roleplaying.
1.2Phone Interactions Don't Count
Interactions through phones — such as Birdy posts, calls, or texts — do not count towards the 45 seconds. The interaction must be in person. However, phone interactions can be used to build beef or a storyline leading up to an in-person encounter.
1.3Jumping Into Scenes
Do not jump into your friend's scene (for example, with PD) and instantly start shooting just because your friend talked for 45 seconds while you hid behind a dumpster. You must also be part of the communication and the roleplay before engaging.
1.4Weapon Holstered
Keep your weapon holstered unless the situation calls for it. Do not walk around the city with your gun out or start an interaction by pulling your weapon. Exceptions apply for bank hostage situations.
§2

Rooftop Shooting

🚫
Shooting from rooftops is strictly prohibited as it violates the 45-Second Interaction Rule. You must personally interact with a player before engaging in combat. Just like hiding in a bush and waiting to attack isn't valid, rooftop sniping is not considered part of the scene.

NO ROOFS ARE TO BE USED. Anything without a roof above it, or that requires a ladder, stairs, or extensive climbing to reach, is not allowed. Only the ground level of parking garages may be used. You can still stand on dumpsters, short walls, or other low objects to shoot.
§3

Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM)

3.1VDM Prohibited
Using your vehicle to kill another player or players is strictly prohibited. This includes ramming another player's vehicle, hitting a person with your car, pitting vehicles, and boxing in players.
3.2PD Exception
PD is an exception and is allowed to pit vehicles and box in suspects as part of their duties.
§4

Combat Logging / F8ing

4.1Combat Logging
Combat logging or F8ing is considered exploiting. If you are caught, it will result in a punishment. 1-Day Ban per ban guidelines
4.2Reporting Combat Loggers
If someone combat logs in your scene, go up to the marker they leave and click "E" to copy the information, then clip the scene. Open a ticket and send all the information you gathered.
4.3Reconnecting
Staff are aware of common crashes and connection issues — logs can show whether it was intentional or not. If you disconnect during a scene and can reconnect, return to the same location you were in during the scene.

NVL & Fail RP

You have one life in VanityRP. Play it that way.

§1

Not Valuing Life (NVL)

If someone pulls a weapon on you and points it at you, you are to put your hands up and abide by their demands. You must value your life at all times.
1.1Comply at Gunpoint
If someone takes you hostage or points a gun at you, you must listen to their demands. DO NOT attempt to pull out a weapon, raise your weapon, or shoot if a player has you at gunpoint. YOU MUST VALUE YOUR LIFE.
1.2Fleeing
If the gunman turns or puts his gun away, you may attempt to run — BUT you must be able to prove this. If you believe a rule has been broken, let the scene play out, clip it, and open a ticket. Never rulesplain.
1.3Fear the Police
You must fear for your life when it comes to cops. You have one life — your first train of thought should not be to shoot them. Be SCARED to get caught. This is considered NVL.
§2

Fail RP

2.1Definition
Fail RP is defined as any action or behavior that deviates from realistic roleplay scenarios, ensuring an immersive experience for all players.
2.2Purposely Flatbacking
Deliberately "flatbacking" your own faction members or friends to prevent them from being robbed is strictly prohibited. This will be considered Fail RP.
§3

Powergaming

3.1Definition
Powergaming is not allowed. Powergaming is the abuse of in-game mechanics that could not otherwise be utilized in a real life scenario.
3.2Examples
  • Using emotes to escape jail, kill someone while being robbed, or kill someone with your hands up
  • Using U-muscle to locate hidden players — only use U if you need to report someone. Do not use it to scan combat areas or check for nearby players before entering a scene
  • Using your whitelisted job just to steal items from that job
  • Locking your MLO doors to escape a scene
  • Repairing your car mid-chase or abusing a menu to give you an unfair advantage
  • Carrying multiple people beyond vehicle seat limits, carrying people through walls/doors, locking building or car doors while on your side or full dead, emoting to conceal a gun, emoting during a shootout to avoid gunshots, using radio channels after your radio is taken, using a phone while handcuffed
§4

Talking While Dead

4.1Full Dead (On Your Back)
Talking while full dead (on your back) is NOT allowed. This includes /me prompts.
4.2Downed (On Your Side)
If you are on your side, you can only talk as if you are acting out your injuries. You cannot provide tactical information to your friends, faction, or the police.
§5

No Grudge Rule

5.145-Minute Cooldown
Players may not carry grudges beyond a 45-minute period after a conflict. Once 45 minutes have passed, the dispute is considered settled, and any further retaliation or conflict based on the previous encounter is prohibited. This ensures that RP remains dynamic and prevents players from repeatedly targeting each other. Violation will result in appropriate consequences, including warnings or further disciplinary action.

New Life Rule

When your character fully dies, a new life begins. Here's exactly what that means for your character, your memory, and your items.

When a new life starts (full die), your character will forget all the information and events 15 minutes leading up to your death. However, you are still the same character (same job, faction, and friends).
§1

Memory & Bodycam

1.1Bodycam Usage
Bodycam is for use in tickets regarding rulebreaks, not to remember what events led to your death (exceptions can be made in court).
1.2"I Have a Bodycam"
The mention of "I have a bodycam" in RP to get a scene to stop is not acceptable.
§2

Respawning

2.1Hold E to Respawn
If you respawn by holding E while down, everything in your pockets is permanently lost. These items can't be recovered.
2.2No Combat Logging
You should never combat log (F8) to respawn for a faster pickup by your faction or EMS. If you are left in the middle of nowhere and there are no EMS on duty, you can hold E for a revive after the timer is completed.
2.3Revenge RP
When you respawn, you may NOT return to the location in which you died and continue to roleplay as if nothing happened, or to kill someone who robbed you. This is Revenge RP and it is not allowed.
§3

Perma Killing

3.1EMS & Perma Kills
If EMS is on duty, they will determine whether or not your character can be treated on scene or if they must be taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. The only exception to this rule is if you are attempting to permanently kill off ("perma") your character.
3.2Reusing a Perma'd Character
If you choose to perma a character, keep in mind you may not use the same character again unless an appeal with staff is made.

Green Zones

Green zones are protected areas of the city where criminal activity is strictly prohibited. Check the #greenzones channel in the VanityRP Discord for the current list.

🚫
Loitering, camping, and/or crime in green zones are not permitted. NO CRIMES including theft of vehicles (or items within), killing, or robbing are permitted in these zones. No criminal deals should take place in the green zone, and no selling or sharing of criminal knowledge is allowed within the green zone.
§1

Green Zone Rules

1.1No Running Into Green Zones
Do not run into a green zone, apartment or house to get out of a scene — doing so is a rulebreak. This does NOT mean you can chase players into a green zone. If they run into a green zone, clip it, open a ticket and provide full context. You MUST be able to prove that the player ran to hide in the green zone.
1.2No Beef or Drama
No beef or drama in green zones.
1.3PD Exception
PD in their duties are an exception to green zones. If you have an active warrant/BOLO for your arrest or commit a crime in the green zone, PCPD is instructed to detain and arrest the individual regardless of where the location is.
§2

Player-Owned Businesses

2.1Businesses Are Green Zones
Player owned businesses will be considered GREEN ZONES. There is NO killing, robbing, or beef here. Do not go out of your way to start hostile interactions in green zones.
2.2Business Theft
You cannot get a job at a player owned business just to steal from them. Wiping the stash or bank of a player owned business when you are not the owner will result in a ban.
GREENZONE RULES
What is a Greenzone? A Greenzone is a safe area where killing, robbing, beef, or hostile interactions are not allowed. You can't start an interaction and then leave the Greenzone to attack someone. Your interaction timer starts only after you exit the Greenzone.
§3

Zone-Based Greenzones

These zones are safe everywhere within their boundaries, not just inside buildings:

Legion Area
Pillbox Area
PDM Area
Water Park Area
Courthouse Area
Gym Area
Police Station Area
Foundry Area
Opium Night Area
Apartments Enter / Exit Area
Food Court Area
All Civilian Job Zones
ℹ️
If you don't see a green box, it may still be a Greenzone. We don't render markers everywhere for performance — use this list.
§4

Interior-Only Greenzones

Only the inside and rooftops are protected. Outside (like parking lots) may be Yellow Zones.

All Business Interiors
Clothing Stores
Barber Shops
Gun Stores
Paintball (Lobby Only)
Casino
Bowling Alley
ℹ️
Inside/rooftop = Safe. Outside = Yellow Zone rules apply.
§5

Greenzone Reminders

5.1No Hostile Interactions
No killing, robbing, or hostile interactions inside greenzones.
5.2No Camping Outside
Don't camp outside a greenzone to ambush people leaving.
5.3If You're Attacked in a Greenzone
  • Do not retaliate
  • Clip it — 2 minute minimum clips
  • Open a ticket and tag the staff role
  • Grab their Special # by holding U
§6

Yellow Zones — Interaction Required

Conflict is allowed only if you meet the interaction rule.

⚠️
Rules:
  • At least 45 seconds of quality RP before violence/robbery.
  • You can't count someone else's interaction as yours.
  • The timer starts only after leaving a Greenzone interior or zone.
  • Players outside the immediate scene cannot count their friends' interaction as their own.
  • Each player must initiate their own interaction or be involved and communicating.
  • You cannot start an interaction with a gun drawn.

Common Yellow Zones:

Banks — hostage-taking only; no robbing players or forcing withdrawals
Convenience Stores — same as banks; hostage-taking only
Player Housing — Mansions, community homes, city-cash homes
Outside Business & Job Zones — still requires 45s interaction
🚫
Failing the interaction rule can lead to bans. See #ban-guidelines.
§7

Red Zones (KOS)

7.1Fisherman Island, Kush Island & the Cargo Ship
These locations are Kill On Sight (KOS) zones. No interaction is required before engaging in combat. The red zone radius for these areas is clearly marked on the map.
7.2Cayo Perico to the Carrier
The route and waters between Cayo Perico and the aircraft carrier are also considered a red zone and are KOS — but this area is not marked on the map.
ℹ️
Help keep VanityRP fair and immersive.
Always record your POV. Use tickets if something goes wrong — don't take it into your own hands. By following these guidelines, you help maintain the balance and fairness of VanityRP!

Metagaming & Exploiting

Using information or mechanics outside the game world to gain an advantage is a serious violation.

§1

Metagaming

1.1Outside Information
Out of city knowledge cannot be used in game — this includes using Discord, stream recordings, etc. to discover anything in the city. If you did not learn that info in the city through proper RP, it can't be used. Clips however CAN be used by staff to determine if there was a rule break and if punishment is needed.
1.2Discord Calls
You are not allowed to be in a Discord call at all while in city. If you are in the city, use IN CITY communication forms only. This is a bannable offense.
1.3Stream Sniping
You may not watch a player's stream to gain in-city information. Stream sniping is a bannable offense.
§2

Exploiting

2.1Bug Exploitation
Do not exploit bugs. Bugs are inevitable as the server is in constant development. Exploiting any in-game bugs and using them to your advantage is a bannable offense. If you discover a bug that can be exploited, immediately report it in a ticket.
2.2Item Duplication
Duplicating items is an immediate permanent ban. Please report these exploits in a ticket if you find them.
§3

Impersonation

3.1Emergency Services
You may not impersonate any department of emergency services or government officials, including the DOJ. This includes the use of bulletproof vests, utility belts, or any associated clothing with their respective departments.

Criminal Rules

Criminal roleplay is a core part of VanityRP. These rules ensure it stays high-quality and fair for everyone — including law enforcement.

§1

Quality RP Standard

1.1RP Behind Actions
All criminal activity must have genuine RP behind it. Robbing, shooting, and committing crimes for no story reason is Fail RP.
1.2Super-Civs
We do not allow "super-civs" in VanityRP. This does not mean you cannot do criminal activity with your friends. This means you cannot be roleplaying as if you are a "faction" without being whitelisted — for example, taxing civilians at hotspots or continuously pressing factions as a group. If we see super-civ activity, you will be asked to whitelist as a faction or punishments will be placed.
1.3Motorcycle Use in Heists
Using motorcycles as the main getaway vehicle in heists or robberies is prohibited. Additionally, dealing drugs while on a bike is not allowed.
1.4Masking Identity
Do not go to the barbershop or get plastic surgery with the intent to drastically change your appearance if you have a warrant out for your arrest and/or the PD is searching for you.

Not Allowed: Changing your face · Adding age with wrinkles
Allowed: Changing outfits · Recoloring your hair · Putting on a mask
§2

Private Houses

2.1Not Safe Zones
Private houses are not safe zones and must follow the 45 second interaction rule. You must have a valid reason and high quality RP to roll up on a private property and must follow the 6v6 rule at all times.
§3

Leaking Locations

🚫
You CANNOT leak or post any locations anywhere in city or in Discord. If you are caught doing this, there will be heavy punishments. Locations CAN be shared in city when there's quality RP behind it, such as exchanging locations with a rival faction or selling information.
§4

Hitman RP

⚠️
We currently do not allow Hitman RP as it leads to a poor experience for the players being targeted. The city is too new and most hitman RP will end in RDM due to the nature of this type of roleplay.
§5

Posting Dead Bodies

5.1No Screenshots of Downed Players
Posting pictures of players dying on their side or flatbacked is not allowed. This is not to be used to promote toxicity. Excessive or toxic emoting on dead bodies for photo purposes is not acceptable. This includes on Birdy and in Discord channels.

Factions & 6v6 Rule

Faction roleplay is one of the most dynamic aspects of VanityRP. These rules keep large-scale scenes balanced and fair.

In ANY situation (EXCEPT RAIDS), there can only be a maximum of 6 people involved on any given side. That means 6 faction members/crims against 6 cops, or 6 criminals against 6 other criminals, etc. Cayo is an exception to 6v6.
§1

6v6 Specifics

1.1Exceeding 6 Members
If you are in any situation that involves a shootout, criminal activity, car chase, etc., any participants on your side that number more than 6 need to completely exit the scene AND THE AREA. This does not mean that you can't gather drugs or hang out together in groups of more than 6.
1.2PD Response
If a cop is killed, ALL available police can respond. This is not subject to the 6v6 limit.
1.3No Faction Cooperation
Factions cannot do criminal activities or cooperate in shootouts against PD.
§2

Lookouts

2.1Lookout Counts as 1 of 6
If you are acting as a lookout, communicating information or tactics over the radio, acting as an outside shooter, or participating in any way in a situation, you are considered part of the 6v6. However, if you are not in the immediate area actively communicating, you can only lookout — you cannot take part in killing/robbing.
§3

Cooldowns

3.11-Hour Cooldown
After 2 factions or group of civilians interact, there is a 1 hour cooldown before a new interaction can take place. All heists require a 1 hour cooldown prior to starting another criminal interaction. Failure to abide by this rule can result in a faction strike or possible bans.
3.2Graffiti on Cooldown
You may not graffiti another faction's block, home, or business if your faction is currently on cooldown.
3.3Faction Hopping
If you leave your faction, you are put on a 5 day cooldown before you may join a new faction. This is to prevent faction hopping. Faction names will be put on a one month cooldown after disbandment.
§4

Faction Flags & Gear

4.1Faction Flags
You may not wear a faction flag unless you are on the roster of a whitelisted faction that owns a faction MLO.
4.2PD and EMS Issued Items
PD and EMS issued weapons and armor are for PD and EMS only. Police and EMS corruption RP is not allowed. PD or EMS caught giving out or selling their gear is a bannable offense and the character will be deleted. Ex-officers cannot keep PD issued items — items must be returned to PD.

Hostages & Robbing

§1

Hostage Rules

1.1Police vs EMS
Police officers CAN be taken hostage when there is QUALITY RP behind it. EMS cannot be taken hostage.
1.2Hostage Compliance
Hostages must value their lives and comply.
1.3Banks & Stores
All banks and stores are considered a hostile robbery. When robbing these locations you should be prepared for and expect a gunfight — especially if you do not have a hostage.
1.4Hostage Limits
You are limited to 2 hostages for all robberies and heists. You may only have 1 demand per hostage. You cannot pretend to be a hostage and then leave with the person holding you hostage or join the shootout against PD. When you are a hostage, you are a neutral party and not teamed up with the robbers.
§2

Robbing Rules

2.1Inventory Only
When robbing someone, you are only able to take what they currently have in their inventory. You cannot request bank transfers or force them to sell their cars, nor are you allowed to take items from someone else's apartment.
2.2Phones & IDs
Phones and IDs are NOT ALLOWED to be robbed off players.
2.3Unrobbable Wearables
The wearables "Shoulder Pets," "Plushies," "Tuner Chips," "Celestial Blades," and "Thermal Katanas" are NOT ALLOWED to be robbed from players. Since these items cannot be taken in-game, you're also not allowed to use thermal katanas while in police custody. PD cannot remove these items during an arrest, so you must roleplay that they are taken off you once you're in custody.
2.4PD & EMS Gear
PD and EMS gear are NOT ALLOWED to be robbed off players. Police and EMS may NOT be robbed of anything while on duty. Civilians/Crims cannot possess LEO or EMS gear. Bannable Offense
§3

Seeing the Light Mid-Scene

3.1No Respawning to Pillbox
If PD or EMS are on scene, you cannot choose the "respawn to pillbox" option for a faster revive or to avoid a scene.
3.2Criminal in Custody
As soon as PD has someone in custody, the scene to retrieve them is over. You may no longer try to break them out or fight to grab your friend once the criminal is in the back of a police car.
3.3Pre-Custody Rescue
You may try to hold an officer at gunpoint (outside Green Zones) if you have them outnumbered or initiate a "life for life" scenario — but you must have a quality 45 second interaction in the retrieval process.
§4

Police Interactions

4.1Killing a Cop
If you are going to kill a cop, there must be high quality RP behind it, otherwise it will be classified as RDM and/or Fail RP. This also includes baiting cops. All interactions require 45 seconds.
4.2LEO & EMS Vehicles
Do not steal or drive LEO or EMS emergency vehicles. You may not steal anything out of a police vehicle. Bannable Offense

Cayo Island

⚠️
Any scene on Cayo Island will be a KOS scene. You may Kill AND Rob on Cayo, but only on Cayo is this allowed. All other city rules apply when being on Cayo Island.
🚫
PD and EMS are not permitted to operate on Cayo Island and may not be kidnapped and transported there. Bringing officers or medics to Cayo to be killed, looted, or used as bait creates unfair advantages and encourages abuse/conflicts with other server rules.
§1

Cayo Rules

1.16v6 Exception
Cayo is an exception to the 6v6 rule.
1.2All Other Rules Apply
All other city rules apply when being on Cayo Island. Only the KOS and rob exceptions are unique to Cayo.

Police Rules

Getting accepted as a police officer is a huge privilege. You work to enforce the law equally among citizens, including yourself and fellow officers. To ensure high-quality roleplay from the police, we have to set a few rules.

🚫
No PD corruption of any kind. The police role should not be abused to help friends. Abusing your PD role and using PD information on your faction character can result in termination of your PD job and a blacklist or worse.
§1

Officer Requirements

1.1Microphone & Radio
All police officers must have a working microphone and be on the proper PD radio frequency.
1.2Equipment
Police equipment (weapons, items, etc.) are not to be exchanged with players outside the force.
1.3Going Off-Duty
When going off-duty as an officer you may not have equipment from PD while off-duty.
1.4Fired Officers
If you are fired from PD but still have PD roles, you may not walk into PD and steal equipment. This is considered exploitation and will be met with a ban.
§2

Conduct on Duty

2.1No Favoritism
The police role should not be abused to help friends. You may not hang around a faction member while on your police cousin.
2.2Criminal Cousin
You can have a criminal cousin, but with no faction affiliation — they cannot be in a faction. Doing so can result in termination of your PD job and a blacklist or worse.
2.3Negotiators
Negotiators are not to be taken hostage. If you find yourself in such a situation, make sure to report it after the scene has played out with a 2 minute clip.
2.4No Abuse of Power
Police may not abuse their power. This includes the overuse of police reports and jailing in situations that should be handled by the government, except in extreme situations where it is warranted to remove players from the city until an admin can deal with them (such as RDM/VDM).

EMS Rules

EMS is a role which does not primarily focus on combative roleplay. Your job is to help injured people, regardless of who they are. EMS, much like the police, are an essential part of the city and taking part can engage you in some incredible roleplay.

§1

Core EMS Responsibilities

1.1Help Everyone
EMS is to help injured people regardless of who they are.
1.2Crime Scenes
EMS is to consult with the nearest officer when attending a crime scene. If no officers are nearby, you can choose to call them or proceed with extreme caution.
1.3Radio
EMS are required to be on the same radio while on-duty to ensure proper communication between all emergency departments.
1.4Going Off-Duty
When going off duty as a medic, you are to dispose of any equipment and vehicles that you received from the hospital.
§2

Medical Decisions

2.1On-Scene vs Surgery
EMS on scene will make the decision on whether flatbacked patients can be treated on scene or require transport. When possible, flatbacked patients are transported, but when resources are limited, EMS may treat on scene to ensure they can continue assisting the rest of the city effectively. If an EMS worker chooses to take you back to Pillbox, you must go with the RP and roleplay out your injuries or surgery.
2.2No Forced Perma
EMS is not able to determine that a player should kill off their character. That is up to them to decide.
2.3No Abuse of EMS Powers
EMS is not to abuse their powers as a medic to help friends. EMS are not allowed to purposefully determine a downed criminal must be taken in for emergency surgery unless the criteria has legitimately been met.
§3

EMS Conduct

3.1Protection While On Duty
EMS under no circumstances can be robbed, injured, or killed while on duty. However, still fear for and value your life — carry on with any scene and clip it if someone breaks rules. EMS is not to act like they are job protected as it is considered Fail RP.
3.2Equipment
Selling or gifting EMS equipment to civilians will result in your removal from hospital staff and a ban.
3.3Patient RP
When RPing with EMS, you must RP your pain and injuries. "I need a tap", "I need a heal", etc. is not RP. This is considered OOC.

Emergency Dept. Addendum

Additional rules that apply across all emergency department roles — PD and EMS alike.

§1

Department Standards

1.1No Corruption
No PD or EMS corruption. This is a bannable offense.
1.2Blip Abuse
Abuse of "blips" during scenes will be considered powergaming and is a bannable offense.
1.3No Impersonation
Civilians are not allowed to impersonate emergency services.
1.4Patient RP
When RPing with EMS, you must RP your pain and injuries. "I need a tap", "I need a heal", etc. is not RP. This is considered OOC.
1.5Do Not Tell Them Their Job
Do not explain to PD or EMS how to do their job. If you have an issue with how someone is handling their job, RP it through their high command or through legal means.
1.6Fear the Police
You must fear for your life when it comes to cops. You have one life — your first train of thought should not be to shoot them. Be SCARED to get caught. This is considered NVL.
1.7No Spam Calling
Do not spam /911p or /911e. One or two times is enough to get their attention if you don't get a reply.

Faction Guide & Setup

Welcome to the VanityRP Criminal Underworld. You've taken your first steps toward starting a criminal organization in VanityRP. Before jumping into your Faction RP, it's crucial that all members review the following resources every single time someone joins your Faction.

View the full Faction Rules document here:
Faction Rules — Google Doc
ℹ️
Required reading for every new member — bookmark these links:
§1

Key Rules to Remember

1.145-Second Interaction Rule
Every scene or hostile act (robbery, shootout, etc.) must include a 45-second interaction. Your friend's interaction does not count. You must be visible, present, and actively roleplaying in the immediate area.
1.2No Hidden Shooters
No rooftop snipers, bush campers, or ambushes from unseen players. If you're not seen in the interaction, you're not valid.
1.3No Phone or Birdy Beef
Texts, Birdy posts, or previous scenes don't count as active interaction.
1.4Cooldowns
One faction-related fight per hour — even if the other party is not a Faction. Cooldown starts once someone is down and the scene ends.

No provoking during cooldown: don't go to enemy blocks, benches, or start arguments. Breaking this may result in Faction warnings or strikes.
1.5No VDM
Don't use vehicles as weapons or to box in other players. Only PD can pit, and only within their SOPs.
§2

Faction Discord & Role Setup

2.1Join the Faction Discord
All Faction members must join the Faction Discord: discord.gg/5BxBgZq2YB

After joining, open a ticket to request faction roles. The faction boss must list each new member on the official faction roster before staff gives roles.
2.2Leaving a Faction
If someone leaves the Faction, they must open a ticket to request Free Agent status and serve a 5-day cooldown before joining a new Faction.
§3

Strike System

⚠️
VanityRP operates under a 3-strike policy for Factions.
3.1Strike 1 & 2
Stays on record unless removed. Cost: $4 million city cash per strike to remove.
3.2Strike 3 — Disbanded
Strike 3 results in the Faction being disbanded.
3.3Post-Disbandment Recovery
$8 million city cash to reverse Strike 3 within 1 week. Faction returns with 2 strikes remaining.
ℹ️
All reports must include 2-minute clips with audio, IDs visible, and full context from all parties.

Faction Name Rules

When creating your faction in VanityRP, all names must be lore-friendly and compliant with FiveM's Terms of Service.

§1

Name Requirements

🚫
The following are NOT allowed:
  • Real-world faction names (e.g. Bloods, Crips, Mafia, Cartel)
  • Real-life brand names
Names should fit the city, sound original, and follow the FiveM Terms of Service. FiveM has become stricter with names that resemble real organizations — we require everyone to choose from approved alternatives.
§2

Approved Name Endings

You must use one of the following as the last part of your faction name:

FamilyCrime OrganizationSyndicateGooneCrime FamilyCrewKillazMotorclubMCBaddiesBoyzBrotherhoodKingsRatsHoodDynastyBlocTrenchesTiesChopTribeLegacySquadPackBallasVagosPosseLordsOutlawsHustlers
§3

How It Works

3.1Name Structure
Pick one word from the approved list — this will always be the ending of your faction name. You may then choose one custom word of your own to go in front of it, as long as it is a lore-friendly combination.
§4

Examples

Perro+Crime Family? Perro Crime Family
Vespucci+Crime Family? Vespucci Crime Family
Redwood+Syndicate? Redwood Syndicate
Blunt+Dynasty? Blunt Dynasty
⚠️
All faction names must be submitted for approval. Please provide your finalized name when setting up your faction so we can register it properly.

Note: Requirements are subject to change at any time to comply with Rockstar / FiveM Terms of Service.

Lore & Story Structure

Good lore leads to better RP. Every great Faction has a story — and how you build that story determines how immersive and entertaining the experience is for everyone.

§1

Building Your Faction Lore

Lore is the backstory of your Faction and its members. It creates depth, purpose, and direction. It adds meaning to your RP and helps others understand your Faction's identity.

Avoid shallow stories like "we rob everyone for fun." Random robberies and mindless violence ruin the long-term development of your characters and story. Lore gives purpose, stakes, and entertainment to your journey.

Post your Faction lore publicly here: Faction Lore Channel
1.1Ask Yourself
  • What's our mission or specialty? (e.g. Money, Power, Arms Dealing, Trade, Smuggling)
  • What are we known for? (Hostile? Strategic? Business-minded?)
  • What makes us different from other Factions?
  • Where did we come from? (Another city? Locals rising up?)
  • How do we represent? (Color themes, flags, styles, events such as car meets or parties)
§2

Story Structure

Every great Faction story runs in cycles — across robberies, beef, wars, and every major event. Follow this structure:

🧭
Introduction
Meet rivals, scout areas, make alliances, create your Faction's presence.
➡️
🛠️
Build-Up
Plan your moves. Scout heists. Gather tools. Strategize. Don't skip this. Build-ups take days or weeks and make the climax more satisfying for everyone.
➡️
🔥
Climax
The peak of the action. A robbery. A confrontation. A key moment.
➡️
🧩
Falling Action
Aftermath of the event. Consequences. Cooldowns. Strategy changes.
ℹ️
Keep in mind rules regarding grudges — each new scene in your build-up needs to be a new interaction. You can't carry the same grudge indefinitely.
§3

ACT — Bring Your Character to Life

3.1Your Role in the Faction
Each member should think about their role: Are you the hacker? Shooter? Muscle? Negotiator? The Brain?

What's your voice, your vibe, your wardrobe? How do you contribute to your Faction's identity?

Stay in character. Be the actor in your own movie.

Discord Rules

The VanityRP Discord is an extension of our community. The same standards of respect that apply in-city apply here.

§1

Community Standards

1.1Respect
Be kind and respectful to all members. Harassment, hate speech, bullying, or any form of discrimination will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate ban from the Discord.
1.2In-City Conflict
Do not bring in-city beef into the Discord. If you can talk about it civilly, that is okay — but if the conversation starts to get toxic there will be NO warnings. Staff will immediately time out or ban individuals depending on the severity of the situation.
1.3No Metagaming
No metagaming. Do not use Discord as a means to get in-city information.
1.4No NSFW
No NSFW content. Keep all conversations, gifs, stickers, and emojis appropriate. Swearing is allowed.
1.5Privacy
Do not share any private information about yourself or others. Although we strive to ensure Discord is a safe place, it is still the internet and the best way to ensure your safety is keeping all private information to yourself.
1.6Correct Channels
Use the designated channels for their intended uses. For example, do not post clips in #general-chat — use #clips-and-screenshots. Any posts made in the wrong channels will be deleted.
§2

Appeals & Staff

2.1Appealing Bans
Please respect the decisions of our staff team. If you have been timed out for longer than 24 hours, or banned, and you feel it is unjust, you may open a ticket for a Head Admin+ to appeal. Timeouts under 24 hours cannot be appealed.
2.2Dissing & Poaching
Dissing the staff, server, or poaching is a permanent ban with no appeal.
2.3The Number One Rule Applies
The Number One Rule still applies in the Discord. The staff team has final say in all matters of any situation.

Streamer Rules

§1

Streaming Guidelines

1.1Stream Promotion
Anyone may post in #stream-promotion as long as the content is related to VanityRP. Staff may remove posts that are harmful, toxic, or unrelated to the city.
1.2Monthly Audits
We will audit the players who have the Streamer role in our Discord on a monthly basis.
1.3Chat Information
Don't ask for your chat to find out information about other characters for you to use in game. If any member of your chat gives you information that you may have missed or completely new information, you cannot use this in game. This is considered metagaming.
1.4Stream Snipers
If staff are available and you are worried about stream snipers, you may open a ticket in the VanityRP Discord and request that someone spectate to help keep an eye out. This may not always be available, but we strive to make the city an enjoyable experience for everyone.
1.5Title & Description
We ask that if you are streaming in our city that you put the server name "VanityRP" in your title and/or description.

Player-Owned Businesses

§1

Ownership & Operations

1.1No Cash Transfers
You CANNOT buy or sell a business with in-city cash or transfer ownership.
1.2Legitimate Operation
Businesses must be used as a business — not as a personal gain. If caught abusing your business you will be striked.
1.3Activity Checks
Activity checks are conducted every 2 weeks. Businesses can be automatically repossessed if inactive for 30 days.
1.4Strikes
If a business gets 3 strikes it will be repossessed.
1.5Theft
Stealing from businesses is NOT ALLOWED and will be handled accordingly.
1.6Business Limit
Players are only allowed 2 scripted businesses. People who had more prior to this rule are okay.
1.7Tebex Voucher Responsibility
Tebex voucher owners are responsible for ALL decisions made for their business.
1.8No Selling Other Businesses' Items
No selling other businesses' items at your business. (e.g. Gun stores should not be selling pharmaceuticals, food stores should not be selling guns, etc.)
1.9No Tebex Transfers
We do not do Tebex transfers for businesses or Mansions under ANY circumstances. If the voucher holder leaves the city, so does the business/mansion. This is to prevent build up of MLOs causing city lag.
1.10Owner Activity
If the owner of any business or Mansion has not been in the city or opened the business for at least 15 hours in the last 30 days, the business will be removed from city.
1.11Employee Limit
The maximum number of employees allowed per business is 15. Any business that goes over this limit will have all employees removed. This will be considered a general rule break on the business owner — each time it happens counts as a separate offense.
ℹ️
All business upgrade locations are validated by the business oversight team. If a location is deemed unrealistic, the upgrade will not be able to be purchased.

MLO Real Estate

§1

Property Rules

1.1No Cash Sales
You CANNOT buy/sell/transfer MLO properties for city cash under any circumstances.
1.2Inactivity Repossession
Houses will be repossessed if the owner on file has not flown in for 30 days or has not entered their home for 30 days. Homes, storages, and items will not be reimbursed if this happens.
1.3Access Limits

Vehicle Wipe Policy

VanityRP does not typically follow a yearly full wipe system like many other servers. Instead, we wipe based on player activity to maintain server performance, long-term stability and reward players for their time and dedication to the server. We recommend not storing items in vehicles long-term — items should instead be stored in stashes or lockers.

2.1Inactivity Wipes
Players who have been inactive for more than 3 months, or have left the Discord for at least 1 month, risk having their vehicles wiped from the city.
2.2No Reimbursement
Vehicles removed due to inactivity will not be reimbursed, regardless of purchase method (city-cash, gems, or vouchers).
⚠️
This system helps prevent unnecessary data buildup, improves loading times, and ensures a better experience for active players. Store valuables in stashes or lockers — not in vehicles.

🚫
No Refund Policy — All purchases from the VanityRP Shop are final. Refunds will not be issued under any circumstances for any digital in-game items including MLO homes, businesses, cars, boats, gems, and player inventory items.
§1

Purchase Policy

1.1Swap Requests
Customers may request a swap for a purchased item (e.g., business, home, car). A swap fee may be applied, depending on the nature of the request.
1.2Ban Policy
VanityRP reserves the right to ban players who violate Discord community guidelines, CFX TOS, or VanityRP Server Rules. Banned players will not be allowed to transfer their in-game digital items to other players.
1.3Real-Money Trading
Players trading real-life money for any in-game item is not allowed and will result in a permanent ban. Any players offering to give you their digital items for IRL money is a SCAM — this is against our TOS as well as FiveM's TOS. Tebex is the only authorized platform for FiveM.
