Terms and rules

ProjectRP — Terms of Service & Community Rules

Last Updated: March 2026

Please read this document carefully before registering for or accessing any service provided by ProjectRP. This document is split into two parts:

  1. Terms of Service — governing your legal agreement with us as a platform and service provider.
  2. Community Rules — governing your conduct across all ProjectRP platforms, including our game servers, forums, and Discord.

Both parts are binding. By registering for or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to everything contained in this document. Ignorance of any section is not a valid defence in any disciplinary or account matter.


Part One — Terms of Service


1. The Service & Platform

The providers ("we", "us", "our") of the service provided by this web site ("Service") are not responsible for any user-generated content and accounts. Content submitted expresses the views of its author only.

This Service is only available to users who are at least 18 years old. If you are younger than this, please do not register for this Service. If you register for this Service, you represent that you are this age or older.

ProjectRP operates the following services under these Terms:

  • This web forum and all associated pages.
  • Our FiveM roleplay server(s).
  • Our RedM roleplay server(s).
  • Our official Discord server.
  • Any other properties or platforms owned or operated by ProjectRP.

2. User Content

All content you submit, upload, or otherwise make available to the Service ("Content") may be reviewed by staff members at any time. All Content you submit or upload may be sent to third-party verification services (including, but not limited to, spam prevention services). Do not submit any Content that you consider to be private or confidential.

You agree not to use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws.

You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct on the Service.

By submitting Content to the Service, you grant ProjectRP a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, unlimited licence to use, publish, or re-publish your Content in connection with the Service. You retain copyright over the Content.


3. Content Moderation & Account Termination

We may remove or modify any Content submitted at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Requests for Content to be removed or modified will be undertaken only at our discretion.

We may terminate or suspend access to your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Where an appeal is available, this will be communicated by the relevant staff member at the time of the action. All appeals must be submitted through a Management Ticket only.

If you wish to close your account, please contact us.


4. Eligibility Requirements

To access and participate in the Service, you must meet all of the following requirements:

  • You must be 18 years of age or older.
  • You must maintain an active membership in the official ProjectRP Discord server for the duration of your access to our game servers. Connecting without Discord membership will result in immediate removal.
  • You must possess a functional microphone and headphones sufficient to communicate clearly with other players while connected to our game servers.
  • Your account and conduct must remain compliant with these Terms and the Community Rules at all times.

5. Third-Party Platforms & Agreements

Your use of our services is also subject to the terms and agreements of relevant third-party platforms. By using the Service, you confirm that your conduct complies with all of the following:

ProjectRP is not responsible for any violations of third-party terms committed by its members.


6. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be changed at any time without notice. It is your responsibility to review this document periodically to remain informed of any updates. Continued use of the Service following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not register or use the Service. Use of the Service constitutes acceptance of these terms.


Part Two — Community Rules

The ProjectRP Staff — including our Curators, Management, Admins, Developers, and Support Team — are committed to maintaining a welcoming, inclusive, and immersive environment for every member of our community. We encourage you to bring any feedback, questions, or concerns to the appropriate channels in our Discord at any time.

The Community Rules are divided into the following categories:

  • Primary — Most serious violations. Typically results in permanent removal.
  • Major — Serious violations. Typically results in suspension; repeat offences may result in removal.
  • Minor — Conduct violations. Typically results in a formal warning; repeat offences may escalate.
  • Game-Specific — Applies to FiveM and RedM servers only. Treated as Minor violations.
  • Discord — Applies to our Discord server.

■ Primary Rules

Primary rules form the absolute foundation of our community. Violations will typically result in immediate and permanent removal. There is no tolerance for Primary rule violations.

  • Age Requirement
    All players and all characters portrayed on our servers must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Hate Speech & Discrimination
    Any language, remarks, or actions that promote hatred, violence, or intolerance toward another player or character — based on race, colour, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or physical or mental disability — are strictly prohibited.
  • Harassment & Bullying
    Derogatory remarks, personal insults, sexual harassment, or any similar conduct directed toward another player, developer, or member of staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
  • Toxicity & Instigation
    Engaging in public discussions or arguments in a manner that defames, antagonises, or deliberately provokes another player, developer, or member of staff is prohibited.
  • Real Money Transactions
    Offering, soliciting, or accepting real-world currency or goods in exchange for in-game roleplay, mechanical, or gameplay advantages is strictly prohibited.
  • Cheating, Hacking & Unauthorised Software
    The use of third-party hacks, cheats, or any modification to the game client intended to provide an unfair advantage is prohibited. This includes the use of external communication tools during active gameplay on our servers.
  • Sexual Assault, Non-Consensual & Suicide Roleplay
    Roleplay depicting sexual assault — including but not limited to non-consensual touching or rape — is strictly prohibited. Roleplay in which a character is drugged without the knowledge and consent of the controlling player is prohibited. Roleplay that depicts or glorifies suicide is also prohibited.
  • Staff Abuse & Brigading
    All staff decisions and interactions must be respected. If you wish to contest a punishment, do so through a Management Ticket only. Abuse of, or coordinated action against, any member of staff will result in immediate disciplinary action and the rejection of any active or future appeals.
  • Fresh Start Policy
    Do not carry disputes, grudges, or negative history from other communities into ProjectRP. All members are entitled to a fresh start here, and prior external conflicts must be left at the door.

■ Major Rules

Major rules govern behaviour that is significantly disruptive or damaging to the roleplay experience of others. Most violations will result in a suspension. Repeated or egregious violations may lead to permanent removal.

  • Abuse of Mechanics
    Exploiting bugs, glitches, or using in-game mechanics in a manner clearly outside their intended purpose is prohibited. This includes combat logging, relog abuse, and the misuse of emotes or other in-game systems.
  • Metagaming
    Acting upon information obtained out-of-character that your character has not discovered through in-character means is prohibited. Knowledge gained as a player must never influence your character's actions or decisions.
  • Stream Sniping
    While active on our servers, you are prohibited from watching the live stream of any other player who is currently connected to the server, regardless of platform or service.
  • Torture Roleplay
    Torture roleplay is permitted only with the explicit and ongoing consent of all parties involved. If any participant withdraws consent at any point, the scenario must cease immediately.
  • Deathmatching (RDM / VDM)
    Killing or causing harm to another player without sufficient roleplay justification is prohibited. All hostile engagements must be preceded by meaningful roleplay that establishes clear context for the conflict. Using a vehicle or animal to harm or kill another player is similarly prohibited.
  • Erotic Roleplay (ERP)
    Erotic roleplay is permitted only in private, between consenting adult players, and must never occur in public spaces on the server. If any individual — in character or out of character — wishes to stop, the roleplay must cease immediately.
  • Breaking Character (OOC)
    Players must remain in character at all times while on our servers. Going out of character via voice or text is prohibited except through designated OOC channels. OOC channels must not be used to discuss bugs, rule breaks, or active in-game situations mid-scenario. If a rule violation occurs, complete the active roleplay scenario before opening the appropriate ticket or report.
  • Incapacitation Conduct
    Players who are downed, bleeding out, or incapacitated must roleplay their condition accordingly. Vocalising is permitted where injuries allow, but players must not break character or behave inconsistently with their physical state. A player may only speak freely when a medical professional is actively performing medical roleplay on them.
  • Third-Partying
    Do not insert yourself into a roleplay scenario you are not a part of. Players must not position themselves to artificially become involved in another group's active situation, and may not loot or interact with downed players involved in an active scenario in which they have no part.
  • New Life Rule (NLR)
    Players retain memory of all events leading up to the point of their incapacitation, whether revived by a doctor or via a self-respawn. Events that occurred during incapacitation are not to be remembered or acted upon following revival.

■ Minor Rules

Minor rules govern behaviour that may be disruptive or damaging to the roleplay experience of others. Most violations will result in a formal warning. Repeated violations may escalate to suspension or removal.

  • Quality of Roleplay & FailRP
    All players are expected to uphold the roleplay standards of the ProjectRP community at all times. This includes — but is not limited to — maintaining a realistic value for your character's life (NVL), accurately portraying injuries after being downed, avoiding law enforcement baiting, not sharing information between your own characters, not acknowledging or reacting to /me's or status effects outside your character's line of sight, refraining from using healing items during an active situation, and not dismissing or undermining the roleplay of others.
  • Powergaming
    Forcing outcomes on other players through /me actions, mechanical exploitation, or verbal declarations — without allowing them a reasonable opportunity to respond — is prohibited. Inflicting unrealistic actions on other characters or exploiting gaps in game mechanics for personal advantage is not permitted.
  • In-Game Text Channels
    In-character text channels (such as Ads or Anonymous Ads) must not be used for out-of-character commentary, spam, or unrelated remarks. Out-of-character channels (such as /gooc or /looc) must be used sparingly and only for their intended purpose. They must not be used to relay in-character information or engage in unnecessary conversation.
  • /me & /status Commands
    These commands are to be used exclusively for roleplay purposes and must convey only observable actions or visible character states. Information that cannot be perceived by other characters in the immediate scene must not be communicated through these commands.
  • Hostile Group Limit
    No more than six players may participate as a unified group in any single hostile roleplay scenario. This applies to all organisations and parties on the server. Organisations may recruit more than six members in total, but no more than six may be actively engaged in initiating or participating in a single hostile situation.
  • Out-of-Character Recruitment
    Organisations wishing to add a member through an out-of-character agreement must obtain admin approval prior to doing so if the addition would bring the organisation's total roster to six or more members, regardless of any existing in-character connection.
  • Location Robbery Cooldown
    Following the robbery of any location — including banks, stores, or other designated sites — players must observe a minimum 60-minute cooldown before robbing a different location.
  • Player Robbery Limits
    A 48-hour cooldown applies between robbery attempts targeting the same player. When robbing a player, restraint must be exercised — you must not clear their entire inventory. The player must be left with at minimum one weapon with which to defend themselves.
  • Scene Pacing
    ProjectRP is a slow-burn roleplay community. Players are expected to develop scenes thoughtfully and with care. Use of /scene commands to set detailed descriptions is strongly encouraged. A maximum of 20 scene entries may be created in a single location. Narrative progression and trail scenes between locations are also encouraged.

■ Game-Specific Rules

The following rules apply specifically to our FiveM and RedM servers. Violations are treated in the same manner as Minor rule infractions.

  • Organisation Communication Monitoring
    All in-character and out-of-character communications for gangs and businesses that relate to on-server activity must be accessible to ProjectRP staff for monitoring. Your organisation must be established within the designated Gang & Business Discord or have a dedicated section within the main ProjectRP Discord server. The use of external, unmonitored channels to coordinate on-server activities is strictly prohibited.
  • Organisation Character Restrictions
    A player may only have one character involved in a gang or business storyline at any given time. If multiple characters belonging to the same player become involved in intersecting storylines, the player must select one character to continue with until that storyline is fully resolved.
  • Assumed Law Enforcement Presence
    All in-character decisions and actions must be made under the assumption that a significant law enforcement presence exists within the state at all times, regardless of actual LEO numbers on the server at any given moment. Exploiting a low LEO presence to engage in otherwise impractical behaviour is prohibited.
  • Law Enforcement & Medical Clothing
    Civilian characters are prohibited from wearing any clothing identifiable as law enforcement or medical uniforms, including uniform shirts, badges, vests, or similar items.
  • State Employee Conduct
    Characters in state employment roles must not engage in corrupt behaviour. This includes — but is not limited to — a law enforcement officer assisting a suspect in evading charges or destroying evidence; a doctor rendering aid to active combatants to prolong a conflict or facilitate escape; or a jailor facilitating a prison break or riot.

■ Discord Rules

  • All members must be 18 years of age or older to access and participate in our Discord server.
  • Membership in the ProjectRP Discord is required to connect to our game servers. Players found connecting without Discord membership will be removed immediately.
  • Venting, trash-talking, or making derogatory remarks about other players or other communities is not permitted in any channel.
  • Spamming, trolling, bullying, or any behaviour intended to cause disruption or harm to the community is prohibited.
  • Excessively offensive or derogatory language is not permitted in any channel.
  • NSFW, graphic, or explicit content is prohibited. Suggestive in-game content must be marked with a spoiler tag.
  • Bots within the Discord must not be abused or exploited.
  • Do not direct message Developers, Admins, Management, or Support Staff with issues or questions. Please use the appropriate forms or forums. Staff will contact you privately if required — please wait patiently for a response.
