Site Updates — RateMyBody.net

August 4, 2026 Latest

Fixed Fixed the Visitors/Comments/Favorites/Purchases notification badges never clearing after viewing — root cause was several missing database columns tracking when each user last viewed each tab
Updated Child Safety Officer, Photo Moderator (Mixed), Photo Moderator (Minors), Safeguarding Team Member, and Safeguarding Lead application forms rewritten to remove outdated content tied to the discontinued Parental Consent Programme and align with the platform's 18+-only policy

New Staff is now notified via a private Discord channel whenever any staff application is submitted
New Data Protection Officer and DMCA Compliance Officer positions now have hiring toggles in the admin Staff Settings panel
Updated Staff Positions page now hides a role's card entirely once applications are closed or the position is completely filled

July 11–12, 2026

New Grandfathered Accounts policy page added — explains what is grandfathered (account + lawful content) and what is never grandfathered (any under-18 explicit/nude content), including proactive removal rules — read the policy
Updated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy refreshed for consistency: stale update notices removed, contradictory age wording cleaned up, and registration/explicit-content age rules aligned across legal pages
Fixed Legal acceptance version constants bumped so users are prompted to re-accept the updated legal terms where required
Updated AI Rating Upload flow updated: Name, Age, and Gender are now required before submit; logged-in users are auto-filled from profile data

May 1–3, 2026

Removed Parental Consent Programme permanently discontinued — the consent form is closed to new applications; no new consents will be accepted
Updated Accounts created via parental consent before May 1, 2026 remain active and retain their existing tier permissions (grandfathered)
Updated Content tiers simplified: ages 16–17 may upload clothed, underwear, swimwear, and suggestive content; ages 18+ may upload all content including explicit/nude
Updated Tier 3 and Tier 4 (suggestive/nude) now require 18+ — previously no hard age gate was enforced at the system level for these tiers, which was the root cause of underage content reaching the platform
New Age Policy Update page added — explains what changed, what was removed, the old vs new tier system, the grandfathering rule, and the pre-policy content situation — read the full policy update

Updated AI rating type "Spicy" is now blocked for users under 18 — an age gate prevents minors from selecting adult-oriented rating modes

New Report button added to AI rating uploads — users can now flag a rating directly from the photo page; previously only the general contact form was available, which delayed the above response
