Sheldon was accepted as a Warden over a year ago and our first Crane over two years ago, by entirely different teams of mods. We consider each application on its own merits and we don't ask new mods to treat the judgement of previous mods as precedent.
As far as Crane himself goes, he's a problematic character because he's apping into a large established cast, many of whom are likely to respond badly to Crane's presence as a Warden - even if they avoid interacting with him, that he's there at all may make some current characters difficult to play.
Finally, alternates of current characters being apped into the game are judged on a case by case basis, taking into account the impact of an alternate's presence on the original and on their castmates.
In further discussion following the initial rejection of this app, we have concluded that we cannot accept a second Jonathan Crane.
Thank you for your application, and apologies for any disappointment. We hope you will not be discouraged from applying for a different character should you choose to do so in the future.
