All right, when 'resizing' without any further specification is allowed in
the FAQ that is a good argument.  None the less this - as i said - renders
the post processing disallowance quite meaningless in terms of filters
applied to the image.  Most better resizing functions use some kind of
filtering internally.  

So if indeed the intention of the IRTC admins is to allow resizing
operations some clarification of the rules would be good.  A lot of people

artefacts without resizing afterwards, see for example:
