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
188
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.

It was a long day at work. Treated the beard to some oil and balm afterwards. Feels good, looks good.

I feel like it’s just not a great beard. There’s that awkward bald spot underneath too. Should I continue? Think I’m a stubble guy? Mustache maybe?

Progress & Updates First Time Beard Competition Advice - Update

Figured it is worth an update to my previous post. Over the weekend my wife and I attended the Geaux Bearded 3rd Annual Beard and Mustache competition. It was held at Rally Cap Brewing in Baton Rouge. Proceeds from the event went to a local animal shelter, The Companion Animal Alliance. Good beer, good times, and a good cause.
Thankfully, my beard came in under 6". The 6" - 12" had some mighty beards. This experience gave me some ideas for what to work on next. The beard itself isn't quite terminal, but I am not sure my showing in the 6" - 12" would be as strong. I am thinking of letting the mustache grow so I could have more flexibility with mustache / freestyle categories.

In the spirit of no shave November, I decided to grow out my beard for the first time in a while to prepare for the month to come
Was honestly shocked at how much different it looks than the one I had in my teens (seems obvious in retrospect😂). Not growing faster necessarily, but definitely looks and feels denser compared to before.
Let me know what yall think! Cheers.

Progress & Updates Post-Trim Update

A couple of weeks ago, I made this post. I appreciated everyone’s kind comments and really thought about what to do with this beard.
I kept my appointment today with my barber. He brought down the fluff at the sideburns, and cleaned up the corners below the ears. He also leveled it out underneath my chin. I feel like it looks cleaned up, which is great for work. My thought was to keep it squared off on the sides as it rounds in toward my chin. There’s not a ton of difference from before, but that’s OK. I also had him leave the mustache alone as I’m very happy with the length right now.
As far as care goes, I’ve been oiling at night and using balm in the morning, but the softness from the balm wasn’t maintaining softness all day. This morning, I oiled, then balmed, and I liked the softness I had all day, but it was a little too oily by the time I was expecting it to be dry.
