If I may give my two cents here, this all only pertains to character profiles. The character profile system is entirely meant for RP, which is what 95% of stuff here is for. Thus, it should be entirely in the interest of users to have characters go through pending. Too often I see people trying to wiggle through the system by doing whatever they like. But remember, this is just for profile pages. If you WANT to do your fic with an unapproved character, there's no reason to have the profile, because you should be including the things in your character profile in the fic as part of the narrative anyway. Ultimately this is being done to cut down on clutter, make things easier for our staff, and make the fanon look like a more professional, respectable place.
