As a member of this forum I want to second this opinion. IMO the dressed/undressed thread with instagram photos and personal info should be deleted, and new rules should be put in place to disallow this. Not on a basis of "killing the golden goose" as others put it but because it's so far over the line ... the action of collecting photos of female riders is already creepy by itself, I'm under no delusion that the morality isn't already dubious. However there is a stark difference between private viewing of photos / sharing of unidentified photos taken in a public place (again already toeing the line), and collecting personal information that could easily be used for online harassment (as it has in the past) and sharing it publicly - seemingly for the purpose of encouraging said harassment.
I get people like the clothed pics. But you're going too far by sharing it and their names. If you absolutely have to use reverse search, just don't share it. It's not hard.
If you're gonna play dumb and be like "what harassment?" you are willingly not paying attention, and if you yourself harass / identify and message female riders online and see it as no big deal, you're an enormous problem
