You can find all the Rules listed here as well as examples of what you can post and what NOT to post with some added suggestions to follow if a submission is in violation of the listed rules. It should also be said that users should follow reddiquette at all times will visiting the subreddit.

Please note that The Moderation Team can remove any post or comment at our own discretion if deemed detrimental to the sub. Rule violators can be banned without warning.


Rule 1: Anything not directly related to Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. This means all other GTA games.

This subreddit is for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online material ONLY. Submissions involving titles from Grand Theft Auto VI, IV, Episodes from Liberty City, San Andreas, Vice City, etc. are not permitted and will be removed.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 1:

  • Please find another subreddit if you want to post material regarding the titles that are not allowed here.

  • Try posting on /r/GrandTheftAutoVI, /r/GTAIV, /r/GTA, or /r/sanandreas instead.

  • See Rule 6 about posting Real World material.

Rule 2: No Memes or Macro Images of any kind.

This rule speaks for itself. Memes and Macro Images are not allowed on this subreddit.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 2:

  • If you want to post a Meme or Macro Image about Grand Theft Auto Online, try /r/gtaonline.

  • If you want to post a Meme or Macro Image about Grand Theft Auto V, try /r/GTAV or /r/GTA.

  • If an image is a screenshot from Grand Theft Auto V or Grand Theft Auto Online and has text overlay within it, please remove the text from the image, otherwise it will be considered a Macro Image and will be removed from the subreddit.

Rule 3: No Low-Effort Submissions. This includes low quality posts, all CAPS, reposts, and non-descriptive titles.

Take pride in your submissions. If you don't take the time to format a post correctly, then why should people view what you have to say? Seeing how people first view the titles first before looking at the specific content within the post itself, please make sure you correctly format the title by not writing in ALL CAPS, correctly spelling what you have to say, and thoroughly describing your title. Furthermore, if your post has no purpose then don't bother posting it.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 3:

  • Make sure your post is something people would actually like to see.

  • Review the formatting of the title of your post before submitting. You can always edit the text within the content of a post, but you cannot for titles.

  • Avoid using emojis within titles.

  • Make sure the audience can actually understand what you're saying.

  • Reposting content that's already been posted on the subreddit before is highly discouraged.

  • Misleading information may be seen as low quality content and be given the "Misleading" flair tag or be removed altogether from the subreddit.

  • Cross-posting from another subreddit is encouraged as long as the content hasn't been seen or viewed before on this subreddit.

Rule 4: No 'Looking for Player' (LFP) posts.

Posts that involve looking for other players in Grand Theft Auto Online are not allowed on this subreddit.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 4:

  • If you're looking for another player to help you, try joining the GTA Online Discord where there's players always around 24/7. You can join by clicking the Discord icon located on the sidebar or you can click here.

  • Alternatively, you can create a 'LFP Post' over on /r/gtaonline or /r/gtav. Just be sure to add your username and the platform you're playing on.

  • If you're looking for heist members, try posting over on /r/HeistTeams.

  • Crew recruitment is not allowed on this subreddit. Try /r/gtaonlinecrews if you're looking to join a crew or if you want recruit new players into a crew.

Rule 5: No PC or Console elitism.

This rule also speaks for itself. Users arguing about 'console wars' and/or the 'PC master race' are highly discouraged and will be removed.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 5:

  • If you have a legitimate and mature comment on the matter, then by all means go ahead and say it, however, you'll be saying it at your own risk. Back and forth arguing between other users on this matter won't be tolerated.

Rule 6: Real life pictures and videos are generally discouraged, however, some submissions maybe approved if a post is of high quality and generates good discussion.

Consider this section a gray area. Generally, real life pictures and videos are usually frowned upon, however, that's to be taken with a grain of salt as some submissions in the past have been proven popular with users. To that end, some real life pictures and videos MAY be approved by the Moderation Team if the post is of high enough quality and generates some good discussion in the comments section. Be warned though that ONLY a certain amount of real life posts are to be allowed on the subreddit at a time.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 6:

  • Make sure your real life submission follows Rule 3 otherwise it will be removed.

  • If your post doesn't generate good discussion or is considered unpopular by users over a short period of time, it may be removed.

  • Only a certain amount of real life submissions are allowed on the subreddit at one time.

  • Try not to get in the habit of posting real life submissions all the time.

  • Posts maybe removed manually by the Moderation Team if a real life post receives too many reports.

  • Remember the the Moderation Team has final say on the matter even if the post conforms to the reasons stated above.

Rule 7: No Self-advertising or Promotion.

Self-advertising and promotion of ANY kind will not be tolerated on this subreddit. This is also a site wide rule on Reddit as well so you may find going to find another subreddit to self advertise or promote a major problem.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 7:

  • Do NOT ask for people to go view and subscribe to a YouTube channel, Twitch channel, or any other video service you may be associated with.

  • Do NOT ask for people to go view a website that you have involvement with.

  • Basically do NOT violate this rule anywhere on Reddit since it's frowned upon site wide. You run the risk of having your entire account suspended.

  • See Rule 9 for more details.

Rule 8: No discussion of how to exploit or mod the game online.

Discussions on how to exploit, glitch, or mod the game in Grand Theft Auto Online is not allowed on this subreddit. Discussions about modding Grand Theft Auto V (single player) is allowed.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 8:

  • If you have a glitch that you're willing to share, try posting over on /r/gtaglitches instead.

  • Do NOT ask for people that can mod your Grand Theft Auto Online account.

  • Do NOT advertise that your able to mod other players Grand Theft Auto Online accounts, even if your 'service' is for free. This WILL result in a permanent ban with no exceptions.

Rule 9: No Spam.

This rule encomapasses general spam as well as content posts. Note that this subreddit has a very strict policy about videos (especially from YouTube). This is mainly due to the large volume of videos that have been submitted to the subreddit in the past that made navigating the page more difficult than it had any right to be. While we encourage users to submit artistic and high quality content, those that submit videos or content that's in violation of this rule will be removed the subreddit. Further posting of such content even after the first removal will result in a ban.

The following types of content are considered a violation of Rule 9:

  • Clickbait videos.

  • Clickbait thumbnails.

  • Videos involving funny moments.

  • Compilation videos.

  • Let's play videos of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

  • Long segmented gameplay videos.

  • Videos involving annoying music and/or commentary overlay.

  • Live streams.

  • Posts that ask for likes, subscribers, views, or karma.

  • Titles that have the likeness of "Part 1, 2, 3, etc." or "#1, #2, #3, etc."

  • History of a user posting the same type of content on their Reddit profile that violates Rule 9.

  • Videos trying to shame another user or player of the game.

  • Videos showing off a recent spoiler.

  • Advertisements.

The following types of content that are considered to be artistic and high quality content:

  • Rockstar Editor videos.

  • Fan made trailer videos.

  • GIF's

  • A short video segment of gameplay that does not violate the above considerations of violating Rule 9. This maybe anything from a cool stunt to a random event within the world of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

  • High-quality videos with commentary thoroughly explaining a mission or game feature while not violating the above considerations of violating Rule 9.

Suggestions if your post violates Rule 9:

  • Try removing parts of your video that are considered violating Rule 9.

  • If your video is long and has a lot of different gameplay moments, try instead of editing the video so you only show one these events that way it won't be seen as compilation. You'll also gain the added benefit of having more content to share in the future on the subreddit.

Open Racism, Witch-Hunting, or Excessive Hostility Please note: Because GTA V is rated M, everyone is expected to act like adults. Mild hostility is allowed in the correct context, but open racism, witch-hunting, and excessive hostility will get you banned. Use your better judgement. Downvote trolls and move on.

This guideline speaks for itself. Sometimes it's better to not get involved and not saying anything compared to joining in on the argument and provoking people further. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't get involved in debates though, and in the right context some bantering is considered acceptable as long as it doesn't get out of hand.


If you feel that a post violates one of the above rules mentioned, don't hesitate to report the post so the Moderation Team can check it out and take the necessary action required.


We value your input and want to hear what you have to say! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about /r/GrandTheftAutoV, please feel free to contact us anytime by clicking the mail icon on the sidebar located under the Moderators tab or by clicking the link here.

[PC] Stuttering with high FPS and CPU usage at 100%

Posted: 17 Jul 2018 06:51 PM PDT

I swear it didn't happen a while ago, but I've been having really bad stuttering in both story mode and online. I've also checked task manager and it appears that GTAV is always at 100% CPU usage and that drops to about 90% during every stutter. My game usually runs at 90-100 FPS and drops to like 50 or 60 when it stutters. It's less noticeable the lower I limit my FPS, but it still happens.

I've tried doing a clean reinstall of my drivers, changing my page files, changing my Nvidia control panel settings, verifying game cache, resetting graphics settings to default, changing the program to high priority, changing power settings, and probably some other things I can't remember. The game is also already on an SSD.

Specs:

i5-7600k

GTX 1070 8 GB VRAM

16 GB DDR4 RAM

G2460PG G-Sync Monitor

Invisible Players PS4

Posted: 17 Jul 2018 08:53 PM PDT

In the past few weeks I have run across players I cannot see in the game. They are on the map, but they're not in view on the screen.

Tonight i had someone in the living room look at the TV to see if I was just nuts. I was not. As an experiment I took a potshot with a rocket launcher and suddenly a Buzzard helicopter was falling out of the sky.

Has anyone else see this?

Does problem with Rockstar banning legit players still exist?

Posted: 17 Jul 2018 11:35 AM PDT

Hello. Sorry for many posts on this reddit, I just don't know a lot of things. GTA V went on sale in Steam today. I was reading reviews and many of people dislike GTA V Online because they have been banned by Rockstar because of cheating, but in reality they got abused by other cheaters. Does this problem still exist? Can Rockstar unban the legit player? If I get banned, can I still play online somehow?

I'm sorry bothering everyone with my questions, I just want to know everything about this game before purchase, because 20$ on video game is huge money for me.

I bought a free hermes and I got charged over 500k

Posted: 17 Jul 2018 11:43 PM PDT

I was playing on my sisters account and she has 1million. I was going through cars on my phone in gta and I saw the Hermes was FREE, but when I bought it, it charged my account 500k or something. Can I refund the car or get my money back somehow? This isnt my account so I wouldnt mind if it was but I feel like im in trouble.

EDIT: I went back to the GTA 5 phone and looked at the hermes and now it costs money (535k)

What’s the max amount of money your bunker stock is worth to be able to sell without another player?

Posted: 17 Jul 2018 09:48 AM PDT

I tried to sell too much stock the other day and needed an additional player to complete the sales. I was playing alone and ended up losing a lot of money. Didn't help that I have the Paleto Bay bunker.
