Projected Launch Date: August 28, 2025

Protecting Garry's Mod Communities. Together.

A comprehensive, evidence-based safety database to identify and act against serious violations, ensuring a safer environment for all players.

What is GmodProtect?

A community safety initiative for Garry’s Mod. We maintain an evidence-based database and an open-source addon so servers can act on severe violations with transparency and due process.

Mission

Make GMod servers safer by sharing vetted, evidence-backed case files across the network.

How it works

Reports are pre-screened, human-reviewed, published as public case files, and consumed via API by partner servers.

Principles

Child safety first, strict evidence standards, transparency, GDPR compliance, and a public appeals process.

Our Four Pillars of Protection 🛡️

We focus on the most severe threats to community health and safety.

Child Sexual Exploitation / CSAM

Direct action on CSAM possession/distribution and explicit sexual solicitation of minors.

Grooming & Minor Endangerment

Patterns of grooming, coercion, boundary violations, attempts to move minors to private channels, and exposure to sexualized or age-inappropriate content.

Cheating / Exploiting

Identifying users who disrupt gameplay through technical cheats and exploits.

Severe Harassment

Addressing doxxing, real-world threats, and coordinated harassment campaigns.

Our Commitment to the Community

What We Stand For

We exist to make Garry's Mod servers safer. We verify evidence, publish clear case files, and take responsibility for every decision we make.

Built for the community, not for profit

GmodProtect is volunteer-run and free to use. Server owners will never be charged for database access or API integration.
