I too believe the App Policy to be necessary for a Fanon of a series such as Naruto. Like Para said, they not only stop people from spamming powerful techs onto their characters, but also compel the user to think about and develop a rational reasoning for why they want their character to possess that said technique, or why they want a character from a rare clan, in case of the Uchiha and Uzumaki apps, fundamentally also developing their story to a certain extent.

One thing I guess could be suggested, is to have more than one admin reviewing an app for a particularly powerful/rare tech or Kekkei Genkai such as the Wood Release, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan, preferably two, three for a tie-breaker should someone disagree. It would increase the approval/denial waiting time, no doubt, but it would also reinforce the rarity and importance of that said tech or KG. I would also suggest creating a "Approved for Fanfiction only" template.

I also wouldn't mind joining the new usergroup with deletion privileges, should you find me worthy enough.
