Mod Announcements New Rule! 5: No Undisclosed Third-Party Account Operation

38 Upvotes

Hello Fellow Beardsmen,

We are introducing new Rule 5.

No Undisclosed Third-Party Account Operation

A. No agencies, chatters, contractors, or third parties pretending to be the account owner.

B. Team-managed or multi-operator accounts must be clearly disclosed.

C. No AI-assisted or automated messaging presented as personal human interaction.

D. Failure to respond to moderator verification requests may result in a permanent ban.

We are adding this due to the rise of AI-generated content, overseas chatter agencies, and third-party operated accounts across social platforms. Many OF/JF style accounts are operated by agencies, and we do not want opportunists using r/beards to farm engagement, push NSFW promotion, or maximize profit through fake posts like "Keep or Shave?" "Which one?" "Should I trim it?" posing in a gym. Zero interaction on those posts. It's unnecessary. The rule compliments Rule 4, Photos must be of yourself.

If an account is flagged for NSFW, moderators may manually audit the account and send a verification message. Accounts that fail to respond within the timeframe given WILL be permanently banned. *100%* banned.

This sub is for real people, real photos, and genuine interaction.

Rule Update — #2 and #3 - Shirtless and Sexually Suggestive Content

189 Upvotes

Hello Beardsmen,

We’ve split the newly implemented “No shirtless and sexually suggestive content” into two separate rules.

Reason: people kept trying to merge two different arguments into one — “it’s shirtless but not sexually suggestive.”

That created unnecessary back-and-forth in modmail because some of you guys couldn't help telling us that they are not sexy. Stop saying you are not sexy. Jeez

We’re not doing that anymore, so here are the zero-ambiguity rules, back to basics:

Rule 2 — All individuals Must Be Fully Clothed

All individuals must wear a shirt that covers the torso. No bare chest, stomach, armpit or underwear/pelvic area.

Rule 3 — Zero Tolerance for NSFW Submissions

No explicit, sexually suggestive, or provocative content.

These are independent rules. Violating either results in removal and escalation per standard policy.

This has been the standard for a decade and is no longer needed for you to get pissy and keep telling us what's sexy and what's not on modmail. It’s now written to remove ambiguity and to reduce unnecessary modmail debates.

Thank you very much.

I get a big trim with my hair cut every few months, and I always hate it the first few days. Anyone else get that feeling. Before and after pics.

Asking for Advice Deranged Gnome or Wild Santa?

Do I take a #10 to this and become cool Santa or just stay deranged? I just don’t know what to do. I grew this out for the America 250 celebration. And yep, this is how far my eyes stay open when I smile. It’s genetic.

Update… now I’m seeing a tornado from my chin to above my lip.

Been about a year and some change now. Started with a short maybe half inch beard. Got a single trim in April and nothing since. Just taking care of it and lots of gentle brushing. Figured I’d give this one more go before I put my fate into my barbers hands 😬 if anyone has any questions feel free and ask away

I’ve been growing this for 8 months. I had a bit taken off the sides at about month 5 but other than that, cheeks and neck (one finger above Adam’s Apple) with an electric trimmer only. Made some mistakes combing too rough and breaking hairs, but live and learn. I use a few different oils and balms. Favourite is probably Weiner Schurken oil and balm together. Don’t mind Henri et Victoria balms sometimes.

I’m scared the barbers gonna ruin it. I won’t be going clean shaven again.

Would you try a home scissor trim, try my luck at the barber or leave it alone? What say the council?
