first off, i've never seen anyone say anything about those pictures at all. this is the first time i've seen you or anyone else say anything about it. maybe i've missed ebots, but i can say i've waited several times for responses from moderators and not received any.
and you're avoiding the issue by saying, "check if you're unsure." because each time this comes up, the person wasn't unsure. they knew their figure had a covered breast, or was wearing something, and the staff decided something else. if the judgement didn't seem complex and almost arbitrary, it wouldn't keep coming up. so either the point is, "you should ask even if you are sure, because you probably don't understand our rules," or the people making the decisions need more examples of what they do and don't find acceptable.
and just as a codicil, i've already seen multiple instances of people marking fully clothed figures as nudes (and saying so) due to fear over the new rules. i emphasize fear, because they haven't been at all disrespectful or rebellious. they want to follow the rules, but it's not clear how to.
i'm not debating the rule in general. but this keeps coming up because your implementation of the rule is beyond what average people can understand. this isn't a middle ground, it's a swamp.
