Should bootlegs be allowed

i`m talking unoffical knock offs and bootlegs like chin so for example harry from harrys ledgend or kart fighter or hell even 7Grandad would they be allowed?
 
No. Bootlegs are effectively fanmade material and aren't officially licensed, so they shouldn't be allowed.
 
Reposting from the other thread on HK97's viability:

I don't know why we'd require games to be verified by the publisher to allow them.

Something that makes disallowing bootlegs seem real weird to me, is that games of X quality are only bootlegs on consoles with quality control. There can't really be bootlegs on PC, because there's no quality control to be subverted. And allowing games of one quality on one platform, while disallowing games of the same quality on another platform, seems like a weird policy to have.

We don't require official licenses, and calling something like this "fanmade" is a really loose usage of the term.
