How we treat each other

Last updated: 2 November 2026

These community guidelines apply to everyone who uses WANTED SIX: to profiles, comments, private chats and crew channels, crews, events, challenges, rankings and creator content. They are part of the terms of use you accept when you sign up. Creators also follow the creator guidelines. How we handle data, including in reports and moderation, is explained in the privacy policy.

WANTED SIX is operated by WKD GmbH, based in Amstetten, Austria; full details are in the legal notice. In these guidelines, “we” means WKD GmbH and the team that runs and moderates WANTED SIX on its behalf.

The ground rules

• Respect first. Criticizing content and opinions is fine, attacking people isn't.

• Stay honest. Label rumors as rumors, don't present anything unconfirmed as official and don't pretend to be someone else.

• Keep private things private. Don't share other people's personal data and don't ask for it.

• Play fair. No cheats, bots, exploits or second accounts to manipulate XP, Wanted Tokens, votes or rankings.

• Nothing illegal. Anything that breaks the law has no place here, not even as a joke or a link.

• Report, don't escalate. If something bothers you, use “Report” or block the person instead of hitting back.

These guidelines can't describe every single case. Where a case isn't covered explicitly, we interpret the rules in light of their purpose: a safe, fair and open place for the GTA community.

Changes to these guidelines follow the rules in the terms of use. The guidelines are available in German and English; both versions have the same content. If they ever contradict each other, the interpretation that is more favorable to you applies.

Anyone can read public pages such as news, guides and databases as well as creator and crew pages and public member profiles without an account. To comment, chat, report in the app, join a crew or take part in challenges and events, you need an account. The following applies:

• Accounts from age 18 only. You confirm your age when you sign up; we don't ask for ID. Giving a false age breaks these guidelines. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor, we suspend it.

• An account is personal. Don't share your sign-in details with anyone, and don't buy, sell or lend accounts. Never give out your password or codes from your authenticator app, not even to someone claiming to be the WANTED SIX team.

• No fake identities. Don't pretend to be other members, creators, well-known people, the WANTED SIX team or Rockstar Games, whether with your handle, display name and profile picture or with a crew name. Don't imitate badges such as “Verified” either. Names such as “admin”, “moderator”, “support” or “wantedsix” are technically blocked for handles and crews.

• No second accounts to get around the rules. Additional accounts used to evade a suspension, limits or votes, or to undermine the rules for invites, creator codes and rewards, are not allowed. An invite reward is granted only once per invited person; to check this, we automatically compare email addresses.

• A suspension applies to you, not just to one account. Carrying on with another account during a suspension is evading the suspension. We can then suspend that account as well.

What you write and upload to your profile, meaning your display name, bio, profile picture, banner and gaming accounts, is usually public and must follow these guidelines. You can't change your handle after signing up, so choose it carefully.

Lots of opinions meet on WANTED SIX, about trailers, rumors, crews and creators. Debate with passion, but fairly:

• Criticize content and arguments, not people. Factual criticism of articles, creator content or crews is explicitly allowed.

• Stay on topic. Comments belong to the post they appear under.

• Respect a no. If someone declines a message request, doesn't reply or blocks you, don't keep contacting them through other channels or accounts.

• Let provocations fizzle out. Reporting helps more than hitting back.

Harassment and bullying

Not allowed: insults, degrading remarks, targeted or repeated attacks on a person, exposing or ridiculing someone, following a person around across profiles, comments and chats, and calling on others to harass someone, flood them with messages or report them together.

Hate speech

Not allowed: content that degrades, dehumanizes or excludes people, or calls for hatred or violence against them, because of their origin, skin color, nationality, language, religion or beliefs, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or age. This also applies to handles, display names, profile pictures and crew names, to demeaning stereotypes and hate symbols, and also when something is supposedly “just a joke”.

Threats

Threats of violence, of publishing private data or of other harm are prohibited, even as a supposed joke. We report serious threats to life and limb to the authorities (see “How we decide”).

Sexual content and sexual exploitation

WANTED SIX is not a place for sexual content. Not allowed:

• pornographic or sexually explicit depictions in texts, images, profile and crew graphics, creator content, event banners or challenge submissions, even if they come from a game or are artificially generated

• sexual harassment, such as unsolicited sexual messages, remarks about other people's bodies or requests to send pictures

• intimate images or videos without the consent of the people shown, sexualized fakes of real people (deepfakes) and blackmail with intimate content

• offering or arranging sexual services

Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse. Any sexualized depiction of minors is prohibited, including drawn, computer-generated or supposedly “fictional” depictions, as is any contact with minors for sexual purposes. We remove such content, suspend the account indefinitely and report the case to law enforcement. Please don't download or forward such content, not even to report it: the exact address (URL) is all we need.

Violence: in the game yes, in the real world no

GTA tells stories about crime and violence. Of course you can talk about missions, heists, shootouts, wanted levels and in-game violence, share clips and discuss strategies. The line is the real world. Not allowed:

• calls for violence against real people or groups

• glorifying or trivializing real acts of violence such as attacks, rampages, torture or war crimes

• footage of real violence, serious injuries or dead people

• instructions for building weapons or explosives or for committing real crimes

• content that encourages self-harm or suicide

Extremism and terrorism

Propaganda, symbols, recruitment and glorification of terrorist or violent extremist groups are prohibited, as is denying or trivializing the Holocaust. Reviving or glorifying National Socialism is a criminal offense in Austria. Violations in this area can lead to an indefinite suspension without prior warning.

Other illegal content

Anything else that breaks the applicable law, in particular Austrian or EU law, is also prohibited: for example secret recordings from other people's private lives, offers of illegal goods or services, or calls to commit crimes.

Lots of scams circulate around a big release. That's why the following applies:

• No spam. No repeated self-promotion, no mass messages, no copying the same text into lots of comments or chats and no posts unrelated to the topic. Share invite links and creator codes where they fit, not in bulk.

• No ads for third-party offers. Members don't advertise products, services or shops. Creators may advertise if they follow the creator guidelines and label ads clearly.

• No scams. No fake contests or giveaways, no promises of free in-game money, “money drops”, modded accounts or boosting, and no fake offers in the name of WANTED SIX, Rockstar Games or creators. WANTED SIX currently awards no cash or material prizes; if we ever offer any, separate participation terms will be published in advance.

• No trading for real money. No buying or selling accounts, in-game currency, items or services for money, whether for GTA or for WANTED SIX. XP, Season Points and Wanted Tokens have no cash value and can't be transferred.

• No phishing, no malware. No links to fake sign-in pages, no requests to hand over passwords, codes or payment details, and no files or links containing malware, cheats, mod menus or cracks.

• No disguised links. A link must make clear where it leads. Redirects that hide the destination and links that lead somewhere other than announced are not allowed.

Chats only allow https links, and they appear without a preview. Still be careful with links from people you don't know, and never enter your sign-in details just because a link asks you to.

What people reveal about themselves is their own decision. Not allowed:

• publishing or passing on other people's personal data, such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, workplace or school, whereabouts, IP addresses or sign-in details, even if they can be found elsewhere online

• showing photos or videos of private individuals without their consent

• making messages from private chats or crew channels public without the consent of those involved; to deal with violations, use the report function in the chat

• pressing others for such data or threatening to publish it

• uncovering and exposing a person's identity across accounts and platforms (doxxing)

Think of yourself too: profiles are public by default. In your privacy settings you decide who sees your profile and who may follow and message you.

On WANTED SIX you upload images, for example as a profile picture or banner, as a crew logo, in creator content, as an event banner or as evidence in challenges. The following applies:

• Only upload what you created yourself or have the necessary rights to. Crediting the source doesn't replace permission.

• Don't pass off other people's work, such as texts, guides, graphics, clips or thumbnails, as your own.

• Link to official trailers, artwork and images from Rockstar Games instead of uploading them again.

• Don't use other people's logos and trademarks in a way that suggests an official connection or partnership.

• No links to pirated copies, illegal streams or illegally offered software.

Rights holders can report infringements without an account through the contact form or to hello@wantedsix.com, with the details listed under “How to report”. If a report is justified, we remove or hide the content concerned. Anyone who repeatedly infringes other people's rights can expect a suspension.

New rumors about GTA VI appear every day. So that everyone knows where they stand:

• Official means official. Only what Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive have published themselves counts as confirmed. Label rumors, leaks, insider claims and your own guesses as unconfirmed, for example with “Rumor:” at the start.

• Don't make things up. No invented dates, prices or features, and no fake screenshots, documents or insider messages passed off as real.

• No leaked files. Don't upload leaked or stolen game files, builds, source code or internal documents, and don't link to downloads of them. You may talk about leaks that are publicly reported if you label them as leaks.

• Announce spoilers. After release, warn others about story details with “Spoiler” at the start of your comment or message. Spoilers have no place in titles, display names or crew descriptions.

• Respect the people behind the game. No harassment, threats or hate campaigns against employees of Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive, voice actors, journalists or creators, not even over delays or rumors. Their private data is off limits.

WANTED SIX is independent and not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. In our own articles we clearly label rumors and leaks, link the sources and don't provide leaked game files. You can send hints to the editorial team as a tip.

Comments

Signed-in members can comment on articles and creator content wherever a post allows comments. Comments are public, including to visitors without an account. Stay on topic, don't repeat yourself and don't post ads. Comments are plain text of up to 2,000 characters; how many comments you can write in a short time is limited.

You can edit and delete your own comments. A deleted comment is no longer publicly visible; what we still store afterwards and why is explained in the privacy policy.

Private chats and message requests

In your privacy settings you decide who may start a new conversation with you: only people you follow who also follow you (the default), everyone with a prior request, or nobody. A request consists of exactly one message until the other person accepts. If they decline or don't reply, accept that.

Chats are for conversations, not for advertising or mass messages. Messages consist of text, emojis and https links without a preview. How many messages and new conversations you can send in a short time is limited.

The team doesn't read private chats. On the platform, only the people in them can read private conversations and crew channels. Founders, admins and moderators have no access through the platform. Moderation only sees messages that someone in the conversation explicitly selects and reports; these can include yours. Chats are not end-to-end encrypted.

Reporting a conversation

1. Open the conversation or crew channel and choose “Report messages”.

2. Select up to 20 messages. At least one must be from someone else; you can include your own messages for context.

3. Check in the preview what moderation will see, choose a reason and add details if needed (up to 1,000 characters).

4. Confirm that you're sharing exactly these messages with moderation as a copy, and submit the report.

Moderation receives only this copy with the handles involved, not the rest of the chat. The copy stays unchanged even if messages are edited or deleted later. You can also block the person.

Blocking

If you block someone, you can no longer message each other; they can't follow you again, reply to your comments or like your content, and the same applies the other way round. They aren't notified. Existing comments, follows and the previous chat history remain. You can lift a block at any time in your privacy settings.

Every member belongs to one crew at most. Crew pages are public: anyone can see the name, tag, logo, banner, descriptions and links, as well as members whose profile is public and who haven't hidden their crew there. These guidelines apply to all of it.

Responsibilities of crew leaders

Owners, crew admins and officers manage their crew themselves and are responsible for it:

• The crew profile and links must follow these guidelines. Links only lead to safe pages that deliver what they promise.

• Application questions (up to eight, text only) never ask for IDs, documents, passwords, phone numbers, addresses, health data or other sensitive information.

• Owners, crew admins and officers can see application answers. Treat them confidentially and don't pass them on.

• Decide fairly on applications and invitations. If you give a reason for a rejection, the applicant sees it, so keep it factual.

• Reasons for removing members are visible to owners and crew admins in the crew's management history. Here too: keep it factual.

• No pressure, no initiation rituals and no demands for money, in-game currency or other favors in return for membership or roles.

• If you're the owner of a crew with other members, hand over leadership or dissolve the crew before you leave or have your account deleted.

Crew leaders aren't WANTED SIX moderators. They can admit and remove members, but they can't delete other people's messages or impose sanctions. Report violations inside a crew just like anywhere else.

Crew channels

All current members with a suitable role can read a crew's channels; the “Leadership” channel is reserved for officers and higher roles. New members can also see the previous history. Anyone who leaves the crew loses access immediately. So don't write anything in a crew channel that not everyone with access should read.

XP, Season Points, Wanted Tokens and rankings are only fun if everyone has the same chances. They have no cash value and can't be bought, paid out or transferred.

Missions, XP and Wanted Tokens

• No bots, scripts, macros or automated requests to complete missions or collect points.

• No second accounts or arrangements to get invite rewards, creator code rewards or other rewards more than once.

• Don't exploit bugs: if you find a bug that distorts points, rewards or rankings, report it via Report a bug instead of using it.

Challenges and voting

• Only submit your own achievements. Evidence such as screenshots and videos must be genuine and unaltered; the rules of each challenge apply as well.

• You have one vote per challenge, and you can change it. You can't vote for yourself or your own crew. Voting is open to accounts with a confirmed email address that have existed for a minimum period (currently seven days).

• Votes may not be bought, traded or cast with additional accounts.

Rankings

Rankings show public profiles with handle, display name, profile picture and values such as XP, level and rank; with a private profile you don't appear there. Anyone who collects points unfairly distorts the rankings for everyone.

Events

For official events and creator events, only sign up if you really intend to take part. If you can't make it after all, cancel within the stated deadline so that someone on the waitlist can move up. Anyone hosting an event describes it accurately and only links to safe pages; creator events are also subject to the creator guidelines.

We don't moderate what happens inside the game itself, for example in GTA Online; Rockstar Games' rules apply there. We assess content and accounts on WANTED SIX.

For fair play violations we can correct XP or Wanted Tokens received unfairly (you'll see the reason in your history), disqualify a challenge entry or hide an entry from rankings, in addition to a warning or suspension.

As a member, directly in the app

You'll find “Report” on comments, profiles, crews, creator content, articles, creator events and challenge submissions; chat messages are reported directly in the chat, as described above. Choose the reason that fits: spam or advertising, harassment or bullying, hate or incitement, sexual content, violence or threats, cheating or scams, impersonation, private information shared, or something else.

Add details if needed (up to 1,000 characters), for example why you think content is illegal. Active accounts can report; how many reports you can submit per hour is limited. The reported person never learns who reported them. Only the moderation team knows. Once your report has been handled, you get a notification in the “Community” area, unless you've switched it off; it doesn't state the outcome in detail. If you want to learn our decision on illegal content and how you can challenge it, also report it as described in the next section.

For everyone, even without an account: reporting illegal content

Any individual or organization can report content on WANTED SIX that they consider illegal, even without an account, for example as a rights holder. Use the contact form with the subject “Report of illegal content” or write to hello@wantedsix.com. So that we can decide quickly and carefully, please include:

1. the exact address (URL) of each piece of content and, if needed, where exactly it appears on the page

2. an explanation of why the content is illegal, ideally naming the provision or right infringed; for copyright, also which work is concerned and who holds the rights

3. your name and email address

4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the information in your report is accurate and complete

For child sexual abuse material, you don't have to give your name. The contact form asks guests for an email address so that we can reply; to report such content without giving any personal details, use the Austrian reporting hotline Stopline (opens in a new tab), which works with the authorities. You can't attach files to the form, and you don't need to: the URL is enough.

After you submit the form, it confirms receipt; we reply to emails with a confirmation of receipt. A person decides on your report, without automated means. We'll tell you at the email address you provided what we decided and how you can challenge it. You can reach us in German and English.

Immediate danger? A report to us doesn't replace an emergency call. If someone is in immediate danger, call the police right away: 133 in Austria, 112 anywhere in the EU.

Misusing the report function

Reporting is for real violations. Knowingly false reports, mass reporting to harm someone, or calls to report a person together are violations in themselves and can lead to a warning or suspension. Suspended accounts can't report.

At WANTED SIX, reports and measures are always decided by people on the moderation team, acting on behalf of WKD GmbH. There are no automatic suspensions and no automatic deletion or hiding of content.

We don't check what members publish in advance; we follow up on reports and on our own findings. We review every case carefully, objectively and proportionately, with due regard to the rights of everyone involved, including freedom of expression. In particular, we consider:

• how serious the violation is and whether the content is illegal

• the context, for example whether it's about the game or the real world

• whether someone acted deliberately and how strongly others are affected

• previous warnings and suspensions of the account concerned

As a rule, we choose the mildest measure that is sufficient. For serious violations, such as child sexual abuse material, serious threats, terrorist propaganda or doxxing, we can suspend an account indefinitely, immediately and without prior warning.

Technical tools

Some safeguards run automatically. They don't decide on violations; they limit misuse or organize the work:

• limits on how many comments, messages, new conversations, reports and form submissions are possible per period, length limits for texts, and format and size checks for uploaded files

• blocked names for handles and crews that sound like the WANTED SIX team

• spam protection in public forms

• automatic checks of whether someone may vote (confirmed email address, minimum account age) and whether an invite reward has already been granted for the same person

• sorting of open cases by report reason and number of reports; it only determines the order, not the outcome

• the automatic end of a temporary suspension at the set time

What the moderation team sees

The moderation team sees the reported content, the report reasons and details, who reported it and previous measures against the account concerned. From chats it only sees the reported copy; anyone who opens such a copy is logged. Which data we store for this and for how long is explained in the privacy policy.

Authorities

If we receive information giving rise to a suspicion of a criminal offense that threatens the life or safety of people, we inform the competent law enforcement or judicial authorities without delay (Art. 18 Digital Services Act). We always report child sexual abuse material to law enforcement.

Depending on the case, the moderation team can take one or more of these measures:

• Close without action if there's no violation or not enough evidence.

• Warn: the warning is listed with its reason in your account settings and is taken into account for later violations.

• Hide content: comments, creator content, events and challenge submissions are then no longer publicly visible. The text itself isn't changed. If it turns out there was no violation, we make the content visible again.

• Suspend an account temporarily, for a set period of no more than one year.

• Suspend an account indefinitely, until the suspension is explicitly lifted. For serious or repeated violations we can also end your use of WANTED SIX permanently in accordance with the terms of use.

• Restrict a crew: the crew disappears from the public directory and can't take in new members.

• Revoke creator status or W6 verification: without creator status, the creator page and creator content are no longer public; if only the verification is removed, the creator status remains.

• Fair play measures: correct XP or Wanted Tokens received unfairly, disqualify a challenge entry or hide an entry from rankings.

During a suspension you can't publish, comment, report or use chats. You can still read public content, manage your data and file an appeal.

Anyone who repeatedly breaks these guidelines can expect stricter measures. Previous measures are taken into account in every new decision.

You'll know why

If we restrict your content or account, you receive a statement of reasons, usually as a notification in your account. It states:

• the measure, its scope and, where applicable, its duration

• the facts and circumstances we rely on, and whether a report triggered it

• the ground: these guidelines and the terms of use or, for illegal content, the relevant law

• your options for challenging it

At WANTED SIX, such decisions are always made by a person, without automated means. You can always find warnings and suspensions in your account settings under “Warnings & suspensions”. Measures against a crew are also listed in the crew's management history.

Appealing a warning or suspension

You can appeal a warning or suspension once while the measure is active, including during a suspension:

1. Open your account settings and go to “Warnings & suspensions”.

2. Choose “Appeal” for the measure and explain factually why you think it isn't justified (10 to 2,000 characters).

3. The moderation team reviews the case again, taking your arguments into account, and decides with reasons. You receive the result as a notification.

If your appeal is granted, the measure ends immediately. Appeals are free of charge.

Other decisions

There's no appeal button for hidden content, restricted crews, revoked creator status or verification, fair play measures, a suspension that has already ended, or if you reported something and disagree with the outcome. In these cases, write to us through the contact form or to hello@wantedsix.com. We'll look at the decision again and reply with reasons.

Dispute settlement, supervision and courts

Independently of an appeal, you can turn to an out-of-court dispute settlement body certified under Art. 21 Digital Services Act. The European Commission (opens in a new tab) publishes an overview of the certified bodies.

You can lodge complaints about possible infringements of the Digital Services Act with the Digital Services Coordinator in the EU country where you live; in Austria this is KommAustria, supported by RTR-GmbH (RTR complaint board (opens in a new tab)). You can always go to the ordinary courts.
