📋 Site Updates
What's new, changed, and removed on RateMyBody
May 1–3, 2026 Latest
- Updated Minimum account age raised to 16 — new registrations from users under 16 are no longer possible under any circumstances, including with parental consent
- 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 guidelines.php, terms.php, underage.php, intro.php, airatinghelp.php, onlinesafety.php (all 4 languages), ageofconsent.php, help.php — all updated to reflect the new 16+ minimum and removed parental consent references
- Updated childparentconsent.php — consent form replaced with a discontinued notice page
- Updated Pre-May 2026 content: existing photos from now-identified underage accounts are being removed retroactively; users can report any photo depicting an apparent minor and it will be taken down on the first report
May 2, 2026
