This is the same as saying that the admin does not consider such applications at all.
It turns out that "The Pharmacist" has a privelege for it? The admin chose him specifically and chose his application specifically.

If the admin should approve all name changes in the forum, it means his major job would be changing users names because endless messages will be flooding his DM.
If you have any special reasons of changing your username, feel free to pm him. In recent time he has changed the username of some users in the forum.
