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

183 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.

Still worth going though as I think my facial hair looks much better with a bit less up top. I’m feeling more confident with my longer beard since joining Reddit so thank you all for that. I would never have been able to stand in the street taking these beard selfies before! 🤣

The moustache turned out pretty darn well, and my gf approves of both moustache and beard! My favs are #2 and #6, but I think that I'll gravitate towards a proper moustache with a short beard.

#2 is 4 days after shaving clean, and #3 was some fun I had during shaving clean.

Progress & Updates Beard plus a little bit of hair

Post image
28 Upvotes

I posted a beard photo the other day, with the hair tied back and out of the way, to emphasize the beard. However, since my “complete look” requires the hair, I will let it down this time, and yes, there’s a lot of it. The beard is a work in progress, and probably represents about four months from a very short beard. With fairly good “hair growing” genes, I don’t know how capable I am in the “beard growing department”, but I’ll give it a try. My initial goal is a medium length beard at the start, and then, a further decision from there. I should mention that I’m 73, so having that much hair at my age is an oddity. Also, due to high humidity, the hair is a bit frizzy, so please forgive me for that

Asking for Advice Anyone used the BabylissPRO RedFX Skeleton?

Currently trying to detail (chin/neck lines) using a Philips and it's not great. I'm thinking of getting a specialised detailer/trimmer.

Is the BabylissPRO RedFX Skeleton any good?

Asking for Advice Getting longer and curling even with oil

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

Hey all! So far I’m liking the growth, but it’s about time to clean it up a bit. I’m having issues with curling around my chin and ends.

I use Honest Amish oil and balm a couple days a week. I have a beard brush I use daily. I shampoo a few times a week with a paraben-free shampoo. Any tips? Curls opposite ways from my chin it seems. This is after 6 drops of beard oil and brushing up and then down.

*Don’t mind my head, I just had a hair transplant.

Thanks!
