Personally I don't think the Ruzhena images are manipulated enough to warrant a blacklist entry for her. The examples Chainer gave (nearly 4 years ago...) are women who went exceptionally far, to the point where it became cartoonish.
However, I could see a case being made to put Yuan on the 'soft' blacklist, since she was blacklisted mainly for shrinking her head, which is something that many of the Asian culture tend to do these days.
I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread, due to its age and the information in the original post isn't as relevant as it once was. The discussion can resume in the thread I linked above.
These models morph (photoshop) the vast majority of their own pictures; even if they don't morph literally all of them, it's impossible to trust any picture that they put out. I want the site to be more about the hard work that athletes put in rather than fiction, and while lots of people on Instagram stretch the truth by, for example, using perfect lighting, literally morphing your own pics is on another level.
We've also gotten a fair amount of (understandable) image reports for pics of these models, which have been hard to deal with because if we delete one image we pretty much have to delete all of them because they're all morphs. So now we're doing exactly that.
I don't anticipate this list growing too much, as at least for now not that many women do this.
