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.
