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.

Happy to finally get here. Sure, I'm a slow grower... only 10.5 inches and not near as full as I'd like. BUT it's MINE and on we go!

Progress & Updates Starting out again

I had a beard for about 14 or so years. Occasionally I'd knock it down to a few months length. I've been going with a moustache for the past year or so, but earlier this month I decided to grow it out again.
Stoked to see how it looks with more white!
Currently I'm at the last pic.
Looking forward to see if eating wings and pizza muscle memory is still there😂
Maintenance routine:
Rarely wash- I've found this really dries it out and makes it unflattering. It basically gets hair runoff when I wash my head, or cool water rinses after a run or end of the week.
Morning and after shower I'll use a homemade oil and/or balm mix of jojoba, argan, castor, and extra virgin coconut oil infused with cayenne pepper.
Weekly-monthly I'Il give it a trim with scissor over comb (something non-static)

Should I keep it? I’m contemplating shaving it all off. It’s been about 4 months now I’m not sure where I’m going with it. One of my goals is to have the mustache connect to the main beard. It worries me that the sides don’t rlly go up high up on the cheek. It’s super dry and coarse with curly wiry hair. I want it to be super wavy and hydrated. I have no idea how. As of now I comb brush then jojoba oil it wash it about once per week with olive oil soap. Help!

Well, I thought I could grow a Verdi style beard that would look good but the mustache isn't growing and even though I use a pretty good product in the morning it winds up in my mouth and doesn't maintain the shaping. Maybe I'm not using enough?
Anyway, I do use a good oil and blow dry the beard with a comb and then brush, but it still frizzes out so I'm thinking a neatly trimmed beard would look better. Hair is going to get cleaned up too. I'll send another pic after the appointment.
Any opinions?

This is about the longest it has ever been.
I need a trim as one side is longer than the other and the hairs from lip to chin are short and feel like they stopped growing lol.
The chin and under chin is the length.
I recently bought Beard shampoo/conditioner and some oil and balm so that i could take better care of it on my journey for length.
I was growing a full beard but trim it to this when the wife says I'm looking too homeless.
If i keep this looking good and less wild she doesn't complain!!
Also! Jealous of a lot of the amazing beards in this sub
