If it has already been covered in the previous thread then I apologise, but I thought I'd voice my thoughts.

Character sheets are the most fun part, as a player, to work on. A good GM will provide you everything you need to let you be creative within the confines of the RP, while still keeping things in line with their intended vision. An attentive GM will work with you on your concept, provide important information where applicable, and help guide the player so both parties are satisfied. And an experienced GM can give you all of the basic info in a list no longer than a couple of dot points. 

Overtly complex character sheets can be fun, but really, they should be for the player's enjoyment rather than the GM's requirements. If the players like making their sheets complex, nice! But I know a lot of people prefer the shorter, more simplistic route. And yet, too simplistic can be problematic. I mean sure, minimalism is nice to look at, but ultimately it's as empty as the overly complex sheets. They just hide it better behind a thick layer of extra, largely pointless info. A GM should ALWAYS understand the most important aspects of what you want for your character, because they literally cannot design the RP with you in mind otherwise. Too extra or too shallow, it means something is being overlooked, and it'll only cause problems in the end.

This naturally isn't a problem in small group RPs in PMs, where you can be a lot more free with your creative direction, but on a forum it cannot be understated how much a well-crafted CS will benefit your RP.
