I'm not really a big contributor here or anything,however, I do want to express my own thoughts to this, I agree with what you say DI, Fanon should be a place where we are able to be imaginative with our ideas and theories. Yes some of those ideas and characters may be just Mary Sues, copying or ever just plain wrong; though those can be weeded out as you said.

To take an example used in the main post "To make a comparison, within the First Season of Red vs Blue, we did not know about things like Project Freelancer, or Church and Tex being an A.I. instead of ghosts, and many other things that have been revealed in recent Seasons." It's true no one knew of these concepts when RvB was barely starting out, yet people still made OC's for the show, were they debunked later on? Yes, but it wasn't until way later on when that occurred; even then people are still making OC's for it. Another thing to point out would be that RvB is a smaller universe in comparison to RWBY where there are greater varieties of characters that exist/Could exist, giving more chances to actually explore something the main canon could have missed.

In short, yeah we should have some more leeway on our ideas and characters, but let's keep being sensible for when we *actually* see the final know how and workings of the RWBY universe.
