FiveM RP Server
Whitelist application flow, live server status, PD/EMS/DOJ departments, support tickets, and the staff structure that keeps a GTA RP city running.
A FiveM RP server's Discord isn't a chat room — it's the front desk, the application office, and the dispatch center for the whole city. Players apply for whitelist here, check whether the server is online here, file reports here, and learn the rules here before they ever load in. This template is built around those jobs. The Whitelist category is a forum so every applicant gets one reviewable thread instead of a buried message. Departments (PD, EMS, DOJ) and whitelisted gangs each get their own recruitment channel and role so your Discord mirrors your in-city jobs — ESX or QBCore, the structure is the same. Support is split into tickets, bug reports, player reports, and ban appeals so staff aren't triaging everything in one channel. The voice rooms assume people hang out between sessions, and the private staff category keeps reviews and admin logs out of public view.

- No RDM or VDM. You need a valid, roleplayed reason for any hostility — random kills get you banned.
- Value Your Life (VYL). Roleplay fear and self-preservation; act like your character wants to live.
- New Life Rule (NLR). If you go down and respawn, you forget the events around your death and don't return to the scene.
- No metagaming. Don't use OOC info (Discord, streams, /ooc) in-character.
- No powergaming. Don't force unrealistic outcomes on others or give your character impossible abilities.
- Stay in character in-city. Take OOC issues to a ticket, never into the scene.
When to use this template
Use this template for any whitelisted FiveM GTA RP server — serious cities, ESX or QBCore, from a 50-player startup to a multi-city network. It assumes you run whitelist and have (or will add) departments and staff. If you're running text or character roleplay instead — fantasy, fandom, OC writing with no game server — the Roleplay template (IC/OOC, character profiles, lore) is the right fit, not this one. For a casual non-whitelist GTA Online friend group, the Gaming template is lighter.
Common mistakes when setting this up
The biggest mistake is making whitelist a single flat channel where applications get buried — use a forum so each applicant is a trackable thread with its own approve/deny. Second: not mirroring in-city jobs as Discord roles. If your PD, EMS, and gangs don't have matching roles, you lose the ability to ping departments and gate their channels — set them up from day one. Third: one mega support channel. Split tickets, bug reports, player reports, and ban appeals so staff can route and prioritize; player reports especially need their own channel with required clip and ID fields. Last: skipping a rules gate. Make @unverified members click through the rules before they can apply — it cuts the RDM-happy drive-bys who never read them. Pair this with the FiveM bot so the whitelist applications, live status, and tickets actually run themselves.
Build this template in 30 seconds
Describe your server in plain English and VibeBot creates every channel, role, and permission for you. The fivem rp server structure above takes ~30 seconds to spin up.
“Add to my server” invites the VibeBot template bot (Manage Channels & Roles only). It previews what it will add, then builds it — additive only, never deleting or changing what you already have.
