No, there is no need to change any rules. Some basic intelligence is
required of the competition participants:

The sample images are JPEG and obviously JPEG images were always allowed.
Anybody unable to understand that compressing an image is *not* post
processing in the sense of the rules should probably not be taking part -
you might consider it natural selection :-)

And remember, the same kind of post processing rules have worked for the
IRTC well for many years. Nobody even had a problem there either.  I would
strongly advice to maybe use some common sense and not the lawyer mode of
thinking.  It is much more productive to work on your images in the end!
