Why CDE CAD has a waitlist - standards, curation, and what we won't accept
CDE CAD is not first-come-first-served. We review every community that applies, we say no to ones we shouldn't support, and we onboard the rest at a pace our team can actually deliver on. This page documents the standards we hold communities to and the process for getting on the platform.
What the waitlist is actually doing
- Setup quality, not setup quantity. We onboard communities at a pace our team can actually support. Every community gets a real human walking through their first dispatch, MDT, and judicial configuration.
- Same level of support for every customer. No enterprise tier with white-glove onboarding and a freemium tier left to fend for itself. The waitlist keeps load even.
- Curated against bad actors. We screen every application. Communities built on racism, harassment, hate, or other toxic conduct are not accepted.
- No leaked assets. Communities running leaked or pirated FiveM scripts, stolen liveries, or unlicensed assets are turned away.
- High demand requires throttling. The waitlist keeps platform performance stable as new communities come online.
- We protect the network. CDE CAD is multi-community by design - every community that joins becomes part of the broader network.
Communities we turn away
This list is non-negotiable. We would rather lose the revenue than host a community that hurts the wider FiveM roleplay scene.
- Communities operating on racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other targeted hate.
- Servers with a history of mass-banning marginalized players or staff for protected characteristics.
- Communities running leaked or pirated FiveM resources (CAD scripts, EUP packs, vehicle liveries, anti-cheat bypasses).
- Servers known for evading FiveM and Cfx.re terms of service.
- Roleplay communities that glorify real-world hate movements or extremist iconography in-game.
- Communities with documented harassment or doxxing patterns.
- Servers that have illegally rehosted CDE CAD source or scraped CDE CAD data.
Application to live community in four steps
01 - Apply
Submit your community details: Discord, FiveM server, leadership team, and what you want to use CDE CAD for. Takes about five minutes.
02 - We review
A real person reads your application. We check your Discord, your server, and how your community treats people. Usually one to three business days.
03 - Onboarding call
Approved communities get a scheduled call where we walk through setup: departments, ranks, penal codes, FiveM integration, Discord OAuth.
04 - Go live
You go live with dispatch, MDT, judicial, records, and the full panel suite the same day as your onboarding call. We stay on call for the first week.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the waitlist right now?
Usually one to three weeks from application to onboarding call. Sometimes shorter with a referral from an existing community.
Can I skip the waitlist if I have a paid plan?
No. Paying does not move you up the queue. Every community goes through the same review process.
What happens if my application is denied?
We send a reply explaining why. If the issue is fixable, you can reapply after addressing it.
Do you really vet every community?
Yes. A real person reviews each application. It is the most expensive part of running CDE CAD and the part we are least willing to cut.
What counts as leaked assets?
CAD scripts, EUP and clothing packs, vehicle liveries, anti-cheat bypasses, or any other resource the original developer did not authorize for free distribution.
