Server Rules

Account Standing

How the points system works, how punishments and bans are issued, and how to appeal.

Every account on LSPD:FR Online carries an account standing — a record of your conduct that tracks any warnings and punishments issued against you. This page explains how the points system works, how bans are handed out, how points clear over time, and what to do if you believe a punishment was issued unfairly.

How Punishments Work

When you break a server rule, a member of staff may take administrative action against your account. There are two kinds of action:

  • Warnings — a formal note that carries no points. Warnings keep a record of prior staff interactions and serve as a reminder to correct your behaviour before a points punishment becomes necessary.
  • Points punishments — these add points to your account and, once you reach a threshold, result in a ban. The number of points depends on the severity of what happened.

Almost anything that breaches the rules can lead to a punishment — from minor issues such as using non-English in public chat or ignoring a staff member's instructions, through to serious offences like deathmatching, hacking, ban evasion, or advertising. Staff use their discretion to decide the appropriate action based on what you did, its impact, and whether you've done it before, so the same offence won't always carry the same penalty. If you're unsure what is and isn't allowed, read the server rules in full — not knowing a rule is never an excuse for breaking it.

The Points System

Points are the core of your account standing. Each points punishment adds a number of points to your account based on the severity of the offence, and those points accumulate on your record. The more points you carry, the more serious the consequences become.

Ban Durations

Your ban length is determined by your total number of active points at the time of the punishment. The table below shows how points map to a ban duration:

Total Points Ban Duration
1 Point 1 Day
2 Points 2 Days
3 Points 3 Days
4 Points 4 Days
5 Points 5 Days
6 Points 6 Days
7 Points 7 Days
8 Points 14 Days
9 Points 30 Days
10 Points Permanent

How Points Expire

Points are not necessarily permanent. As long as you stay out of trouble, your accumulated points will gradually clear over time, slowly restoring your account standing.

  • Points begin to expire from the date you are unbanned — this is when the clock starts.
  • 1 point is removed for every 90 days that pass without any further punishment, allowing for up to 4 points removed per year.
  • If you receive a new punishment during this period, the countdown resets and begins again from your latest unban date.

Note that while expired points no longer count toward your active total or a ban, they are never erased from your record — your history will always display every warning and punishment you've ever received, including expired points.

Checking Your Standing

You can review your account standing at any time in-game using the /history command. This opens your punishment history panel, giving you a complete overview of your account's conduct, including:

  • Your current account standing and how many active points you have.
  • When your next point is due to expire.
  • A full record of every warning and punishment ever issued against your account.

Appealing a Ban

If you are banned and you genuinely believe the punishment was issued wrongfully, you have the right to appeal it. There are two ways to submit an appeal:

  1. From the FiveM server list: attempt to connect to LSPD:FR Online while banned. You'll be presented with an appeal form directly in the FiveM client — fill it out and submit it there.
  2. On Discord: join our Discord server and open a support ticket under the Ban Appeal category.

Whichever route you choose, you must provide reasonable justification and evidence that demonstrates why you believe the ban is invalid. The more clearly you can show that a mistake was made, the better your appeal can be assessed.
