It shouldn't be a dirty word so as to be afraid to be discussed, as it involves everyone here. Instilling fear with the threat of banning to even mention the word shaving is bullshit - every single CMS ever used to this day uses an unecncrypted database. Therefore, yes it's possible to shave.

And so what is the question? Is it possible to shave usig nats? Yes, is it possible to shave on mas? Yes, is it possible to shave on xyz? yes

IMO, the question is do you trust your sponsor? If no, then stop promoting them.
