Guideline 2.1

Accounts and Registration

You must be at least 13 years old to hold a GPM account. At the time of writing this policy, accounts are created through Discord sign-in; one person may maintain one GPM account. Browsing public content does not require registration, but downloading, uploading, commenting, and other account actions do.

Keep your Discord account secure, enable two-factor authentication, add a recovery email, and do not share or transfer your account. You are responsible for activity performed through it. Do not impersonate another person or organization, provide deliberately false information during required verification, or create another account to bypass a restriction or ban.

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support@gtapolicemods.com. Account restrictions and deletions are handled according to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Allowed

  • Creating one personal account using your own Discord sign-in.
  • Reporting suspicious activity on your account promptly.

Not allowed

  • Sharing an account with another person.
  • Creating an alternate account to evade a suspension or ban.
  • Impersonating a developer, staff member, or organization.

Guideline 2.2

Verification and Account Badges

Verification indicators and account badges identify specific statuses granted or confirmed by GPM; they are not a guarantee that a member, creator, or organization is trustworthy, endorsed, or free from moderation.

Members must provide truthful information when applying for an available verification program. Do not imitate verification marks, staff insignia, organizational affiliations, or special roles to mislead others. Badges are assigned according to the requirements of the relevant program and may be removed if those requirements are no longer met or if the account violates applicable rules.

Professional or service-status verification, when offered, follows the process disclosed for that badge. Do not send identity documents or other sensitive personal information to staff through unsolicited messages.

Allowed

  • Using an account badge that GPM legitimately issued.
  • Correcting inaccurate profile or affiliation information.

Not allowed

  • Faking a verification badge in a profile photo.
  • Claiming to be GPM staff or an endorsed partner without authorization.
  • Submitting another person's credentials.

Guideline 2.3

Community Roles and Special Status

Certain accounts may display roles or distinctions such as Community Team, developer recognition, or other designated community statuses. Roles identify responsibilities or achievements within GPM; unless specifically stated, they do not imply endorsement of a user's projects, products, opinions, or external communities.

All members, including role holders, must follow the same Community Guidelines. Role holders may be subject to additional role-specific expectations. Do not misrepresent a voluntary role as employment, impersonate staff, or claim moderation authority you have not been given.

GPM may modify or revoke special status when eligibility ends, the role is discontinued, or relevant standards are violated. Official moderation decisions are made only by authorized staff through GPM's recognized systems.

Allowed

  • Accurately identifying yourself as a GPM Community Team member if appointed.
  • Displaying a legitimately earned developer distinction.

Not allowed

  • Claiming you can ban users or approve files without authorization.
  • Using a badge to suggest GPM endorses an unrelated paid product.

Guideline 2.4

Medals, Recognition, and Reputation

GPM medals, badges, and reputation recognize participation and achievements in the community. They are cosmetic or recognition features and do not exempt a member from the Community Guidelines, guarantee staff endorsement, or provide ownership of a GPM service.

Members must earn or receive medals through the applicable published requirements. Do not falsify evidence, impersonate a qualified member, buy or sell recognition, or manipulate engagement to obtain an award. Medals may be corrected or revoked if awarded in error or obtained fraudulently.

Limited-time awards, including First on Scene, are issued under their published eligibility rules. Eligibility for one promotion does not imply eligibility for future awards. Transfer or gifting is not available unless a specific feature explicitly permits it.

Allowed

  • Receiving a medal through a published achievement or promotion.
  • Reporting an award mistakenly issued to your account.

Not allowed

  • Selling medals or manufacturing evidence to claim them.
  • Using alternate accounts to farm reputation or awards.
  • Claiming a medal means GPM endorses your business.
