WHAT THIS PLACE IS
A forum for people who want to look better and are willing to be told when something doesn't work. The guides sort every technique into four buckets — Confirmed, Worth Trying, Cope, Don't — and this is where those calls get argued with.
THE RULES, ALL FIVE OF THEM
1. No rating requests, no "rate my face", no PSL scales.
There are a hundred places for that. This isn't one. It makes people worse and it's the single most reliable way to turn a normal person into someone who checks their reflection forty times a day.
2. Bring the source or say you don't have one.
"I read it works" is fine as long as you say that's what it is. Presenting a forum post as a study is not.
3. No compounds. No sourcing. Ever.
No steroids, SARMs, peptides, or where to buy them. Not in posts, not in DMs, not in "asking for a friend". Instant ban, first offence. The Hardmax Guide explains the reasoning in full — chapter 45.
4. Nobody under 18 gets advice on anything invasive.
Surgery, injectables, prescription medication. If you're 16 and asking about jaw surgery, the answer is that your face isn't finished growing and neither is the conversation.
5. Don't be a prick about someone's face.
Blunt about techniques, decent about people. People post here because they're insecure. That's the whole reason this community exists. Anyone who forgets that gets removed.
HOW RANKS WORK
Post count. That's it. Nobody can buy one, staff can't hand them out, and there is no VIP tier. Unranked → Grounded (5) → Climbing (25) → Ascending (100) → Elevated (300) → Ascended (1000).
BEFORE YOU ASK
Search first. "Does mewing work", "is bonesmashing real", "what sunscreen" have all been answered. If the guide covers it, say what the guide said and what you disagree with — that's a much better thread than the question on its own.
If any of this is affecting you more than it should — if you're spending hours a day on your own face — read chapter 55 of the Softmax Guide, and talk to someone. That matters more than your jawline.
