Considering:
-Most of the content on the last years is digital art from Pixiv and others
-The Pixiv maid's contest brought a lot of smaller resolution images for the last weeks, and the user Ferkunxd uploaded a lot of images at the same time. If there was a "recent influx", it was just that.
-But that recent influx proves that a lot of good stuff would stay out with a strict resolution limit
-While having standards is good, the industry is no better than before
-Such measures disencourage user contribution
-It's not even easy to comply since it's a proportion, an extra field for MP size on post information should be implemented.
-If mods and scans are exempt from this rule, that would make it inconsistent (maybe one of the most inconsistent of all our rules), lessening the image of the board.
-etc
It's a bad move that apparently pretends to keep the site's standards but it's mostly a way to have less "work" managing the site.
