Mods, please feel free to remove if I’m still getting this wrong

It seems the current rule is:

“If they are not public figures/sex workers/clearly consenting in some way DO NOT POST THEM. Unless you can explicitly prove that they are in one of the aforementioned categories, random sorority girls, random groups of girls at the beach, random girls in dresses, etc. are not allowed to be posted. They did not consent to this type of thing.”

So…is the conclusion that depicted women need only be public figures? Because that’s how I would read the “/“ that punctuates those three categories and the fact that the rule explicitly says “in one of the aforementioned categories”.

In which case, these ladies are the Polish national track team (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKSLQJQIFaO/; https://sport.interia.pl/lekkoatletyka/news-ledwie-memorial-szewinskiej-wystartowal-a-juz-rekord-polski,nId,21823531) and the photo is on a number of public headlines. They are, by my interpretation, public figures by all account given their celebrity status in Europe at the very minimum.

If that is not how the rule is to be read, perhaps the rule is in need of some clarification and rewriting.

      I don’t think it is actually - seems like there’s one plain reading to it. But if the mods feel the need to set standards that don’t comport with the reading, it would benefit everyone for the rule to be appropriately tweaked.
