* Add a user privacy setting so they can gate who is allowed to share private
photos with them (for people who dislike unsolicited shares):
* Anybody (default)
* Friends only
* Friends + people whom they have sent a DM to (on the main website)
* Nobody
* Add gating around whether to display the prompt to unlock your private photos
while you are viewing somebody's gallery:
* The current user needs at least one private photo to share.
* The target user's new privacy preference is taken into consideration.
* The "should show private photo share prompt" logic is also used on the actual
share page, e.g. for people who manually paste in a username to share with.
You can not grant access to private photos which don't exist.
* Improve the UI on the private photo shares page.
* Profile cards to add elements from the Member Directory page, such as a
Friends and Liked indicator.
* A count of the user's Private photos is shown, which links directly to
their private gallery.
* Add "Decline" buttons to the Shared With Me page: so the target of a private
photo share is able to remove/cancel shares with them.
* Add an AboutUserID field to feedbacks, so when the report is about a
picture that is later deleted, the feedback can still link to the
original owner's account instead of showing an error.
* Add filters to the User Notes page so the admin can see:
* All feedback From or About the user or their content (default)
* Feedback created by the user
* Feedback about the user or their content
* Fuzzy search for any feedback containing the user's name.
* On chat room reports: make the @channel ID a clickable user profile
link for convenience.
* With the new JWT signatures on photo URLs, it was no longer possible for
creative users to embed their gallery photos on their profile page.
* Add a function to ReSignPhotoLinks that finds/replaces (on the server side)
all references to paths under "/static/photos/" and gives them a fresh
?jwt= query string signature.
* Note: only applies to the profile page essays, ReSignPhotoLinks is a
template func that must be opted-in on a per page basis.
Other miscellaneous fixes
* Add "Edit" buttons in the corners of profile cards, when the current user
looks at their profile page. They link to URIs like
"/settings#profile/about_me" which will now:
1. Select the "Profile settings" tab like #profile
2. Scroll and focus the profile essay field that the user clicked to edit.
* The photo signing JWT tokens carry more fields to validate against:
* The username the token is assigned to (or '@' for anyone)
* An 'anyone' boolean for widely public images, such as for the chat room
and public profile pages.
* A short filename hash of the image in question (whether a Photo or a
CommentPhoto) - so that the user can't borrow a JWT token from the chat
room and reveal a different picture.
* Refactored where the VisibleAvatarURL function lives, to avoid a cyclic
dependency error.
* Originally: (*models.User).VisibleAvatarURL(other *models.User)
* Now: (pkg/photo).VisibleAvatarURL(user, currentUser *models.User)
When a user marks that another photo should have been marked as explicit:
* The owner of that photo gets a notification about it, which reminds them of
the explicit photo policy.
* The photo's "Flagged" boolean is set (along with the Explicit boolean)
* The 'Edit' page on a Flagged photo shows a red banner above the Explicit
option, explaining that it was flagged. The checkbox text is crossed-out,
with a "no" cursor and title text over - but can still be unchecked.
If the user removes the Explicit flag on a flagged photo and saves it:
* An admin report is generated to notify to take a look too.
* The Explicit flag is cleared as normal
* The Flagged boolean is also cleared on this photo: if they set it back to
Explicit again themselves, the red banner won't appear and it won't notify
again - unless a community member flagged it again!
Also makes some improvements to the admin page:
* On photo reports: show a blurred-out (clickable to reveal) photo on feedback
items about photos.
* Profile pictures on profile pages now link to the gallery when clicked.
* Admins can no longer automatically see the default profile pic on profile
pages unless they have photo moderator ability.
* Photo view counts are not added when an admin with photo moderator ability
should not have otherwise been able to see the photo.
* Add chat moderation rules to the website, so admins can apply selective rules
to problematic users. Available rules are:
* redcam: user's camera is always NSFW.
* nobroadcast: user can not broadcast their camera.
* novideo: user can not broadcast OR watch any video.
* noimage: user can not share OR see any shared image on chat.
* The page to manage a user's active rules is available on their admin card of
their profile page. When the user has rules active, a yellow counter is shown
by the link to manage their rules.
* Only chat moderator admins have access to the page or can see the yellow
counter to know whether rules are active.
* "Shy Accounts" are now permitted on the chat room! With some moderation rules
automatically applied to them: novideo,noimage.
* Update the Shy Account FAQ and messaging on the chat landing page.
* Update the auto-kick from chat behavior regarding shy accounts:
* They are kicked from chat only when an update to their profile settings will
transition then FROM a non-shy into a shy account.
* For example: when saving their profile settings (going private) or when
editing or deleting a photo (if they will have no more public photos left)
If an admin needs to impersonate a regular user (to diagnose a support
issue or investigate a reported conversation thread), the web push
script is disabled so that the admin doesn't get subscribed to push
notifications for that user.
Add minimum quotas for users to earn the ability to create custom forums.
The entry requirements that could earn the first forum include:
1. Having a Certified account status for at least 45 days.
2. Having written 10 posts or replies in the forums.
Additional quota is granted in increasing difficulty based on the count of
forum posts created.
Other changes:
* Admin view of Manage Forums can filter for official/community.
* "Certified Since" now shown on profile pages.
* Update FAQ page for Forums feature.
* Add a "Report" link to the footer of forums.
* Allow some non-admin users to view a private forum and its threads.
* Moderators and approved followers can see it
* Note: the endpoint to follow a forum won't let a user invite themselves
to a private forum. Currently there is no way to approve a user except
by also adding them as a moderator.
* Explore and Newest tabs can show these private forums if viewable.
* The "Newest" tab of the forum is updated with new filter options.
* Which forums: All, Official, Community, My List
* Show: By threads, All posts
* The option for "Which forums" is saved in the user's preferences and set as
their default on future visits, similar to the Site Gallery "Whose photos"
option.
* So users can subscribe to their favorite forums and always get their latest
posts easily while filtering out the rest.
* Forum Moderators
* Add the ability to add and remove moderators for your forum.
* Users are notified when they are added as a moderator.
* Moderators can opt themselves out by unfollowing the forum.
* ForumMembership: add unique constraint on user_id,forum_id.
* Add a world cities database with type-ahead search on the Member Directory.
* Users can search for a known city to order users by distance from that city
rather than from their own configured location on their settings page.
* Users must opt-in their own location before this feature may be used, in order
to increase adoption of the location feature and to enforce fairness.
* The `nonshy setup locations` command can import the world cities database.
* Add support for Web Push Notifications when users receive a new Message or
Friend Request on the main website.
* Users opt in or out of this on their Notification Settings. They can also
individually opt out of Message and Friend Request push notifications.
* Remove the ability for regular (non-admin) users to search the Member
Directory for non-certified profiles.
* Profiles who don't certify can be a risk to contact, as the likelihood
of fake pictures and scams/spam is much higher.
The nonshy website is changing the policy on profile pictures. From August 30,
the square cropped avatar images will need to be publicly viewable to everyone.
This implements the first pass of the rollout:
* Add the Public Avatar Consent Page which explains the change to users and
asks for their acknowledgement. The link is available from their User Settings
page, near their Certification Photo link.
* When users (with non-public avatars) accept the change: their square cropped
avatar will become visible to everybody, instead of showing a placeholder
avatar.
* Users can change their mind and opt back out, which will again show the
placeholder avatar.
* The Certification Required middleware will automatically enforce the consent
page once the scheduled go-live date arrives.
Next steps are:
1. Post an announcement on the forum about the upcoming change and link users
to the consent form if they want to check it out early.
2. Update the nonshy site to add banners to places like the User Dashboard for
users who will be affected by the change, to link them to the forum post
and the consent page.
* Inner circle: users have the ability to remove themselves and can avoid being
invited again in the future.
* Admin actions: add a "Reset Password" ability to user accounts.
* Admin "Create New User" page.
* Rate limit error handling improvements for the login page.
* Add an Admin Certification Photo workflow where we can request the user to
upload a secondary form of ID (government issued photo ID showing their
face and date of birth).
* An admin rejection option can request secondary photo ID.
* It sends a distinct e-mail to the user apart from the regular rejection email
* It flags their cert photo as "Secondary Needed" forever: even if the user
removes their cert photo and starts from scratch, it will immediately request
secondary ID when uploading a new primary photo.
* Secondary photos are deleted from the server on both Approve and Reject by
the admin account, for user privacy.
* If approved, a Secondary Approved=true boolean is stored in the database. This
boolean is set to False if the user deletes their cert photo in the future.
* Add a transparency page where regular user accounts can list the roles and
permissions that an admin user has access to. It is available by clicking on
the "Admin" badge on that user's profile page.
* Add additional admin scopes to lock down more functionality:
* User feedback and reports
* Change logs
* User notes and admin notes
* Add friendly descriptions to what all the scopes mean in practice.
* Don't show admin notification badges to admins who aren't allowed to act on
those notifications.
* Update the admin dashboard page and documentation for admins.
