Restrictions have been tried here and they never succeed. Ever. After a month or so, even the people who came up with the restrictions want to be rid of them. Restrictions also stifle growth and creativity. You were spot on, Dazz, when you said this place is a community. So, as a community, perhaps you should find ways to promote alternatives to the Uchiha. Because, and this is just my standpoint, the Uchiha aren't the only problem. They are the biggest, yes, by far, but the second Kaguya was introduced, all of a sudden the Otsutsuki became spammed on this site (despite, just like the Uchiha, there being virtually no way for them to exist). Now, I'm seeing Tenseigan everywhere.

What am I getting at?

The Uchiha are a symptom of the problem, not the problem themselves. The problem is that people seem to labor under the delusion that flashy kekkei genkai are absolutely vital to their characters. Its not even dojutsu anymore. You have people making kekkei genkai, tota, and mora at every corner. So much so that Hidan techniques have become entirely obsolete and your true genius shinobi (think Kakashi before his Sharingan) aren't possible without possessing some super hax nature release, dojutsu, or what have you.

Now, that isn't to say that people should splurge and have a character or two like that. I have a few myself, its bound to happen, and people do just want to have fun. Overall, though, if you want to talk about this as an issue that the community needs to solve, you need to get over your dependence on restrictions (which always fails to solve the problem) and actually start working towards a real, tangible, and viable solution. What that solution is? That's up to you lot to decide. Do you promote new clans? Maybe swear off the Uchiha yourselves (you have a pretty OP Uchiha yourself, Dazz; as do I)? You know, set an example? I can't give you the solution. That has to be the community.

But more restrictions? After how many attempts that have failed? What is the definition of insanity again? Trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Yeah. Think about that.
