See, this is the problem right here. Considering that a lot of non spinoffs, video game-related and Pokepastas were being filtered with the system in place it turns away a lot of writers. If the appeal system is not checked because nobody could be bothered to, why have people submitting pastas at all then?

And does the filter actually stop badpastas from coming in? No, it doesn't. There can be bad pastas written about anything. I've been marking a lot of pastas for admin review myself. A pasta is not bad because of its subject matter, but rather the writing itself. It's not collective, whether a work of fiction is good or not falls within the individual authors themselves.
