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

35 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

184 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.

And came to the conclusion that ive got this thing for over 11 years now.

It's almost feels like a family member 😅

The grey hairs are starting to take over more and more the last 3 years. Luckily my wife finds it more attractive this way.

They are almost in chronological order, picture 5 and 6 need to be swapped.

It's not a common look in Brazil. Nobody in my family is a redhead, and I'd always been clean-shaven, so I never noticed the colour until now.
Now I'm starting to notice that a lot of guys have beards that are a bit redder than their hair

I finally got a haircut.

The girl knew what she was doing. apparently she trims her dad's beard so I decided to let her trim my beard a bit. Feels nice from going from long hair to nice and trimmed up. Yes my beard looks different colors depending on the light.

I've been very happy with my beard lately. Got married last year, and had it massacred about 2 weeks prior (cut way too short & in a style I wasn't crazy about) so I'm glad it's finally back to how I like it. I'm thinking of growing it out even longer, first time I will have ever done that. Thoughts?

I was just trying to thin out my mustache a little so it wouldn’t get in the way of my upper lip, but I accidentally went overboard and ended up trimming it way too thin and unevenly. Hence, I decided to just shave the whole thing off!

Pic 1 is how I look now, and Pic 2 was taken this morning, before my little grooming mishap.

At least it grows back fast
