This only works if you admit that the site is a roleplay site only, which it isn't. Most users, myself included, are writing fan-fiction on their own. So, if I go around and start to say "The Rinnegan is banned, and you can only have two Uchiha", then what happens to those people who write way before the Uchiha Massacre? What happens to those, like me, who write after the clan is restored? And what if an Uchiha (villain or hero) getting the Rinnegan is a plot point for a fan fiction? In my experience, limiting who can have what 1) leads to corruption of the administration, because they pretty much decide who lives and who dies, and 2) limits creativity, because new aspects on established powers are all but silenced.

The problem on this wiki isn't really the number of Uchiha, or even the number of sages. I don't think most of you check the timeline of each other's stories, because if you did, you would find a much different result. For example, a lot of people write in the present (Fourth Shinobi World War, main Naruto canon). Others, like me, however, write way into the future. And yet others, like Lavi, who founded this site, write pre-Hashirama; way in the past. When you put that into perspective, suddenly their aren't so many Uchiha running around at the same time. Same for Sages. There are just a lot of articles on our site pertaining to them - past, present, and future. And their should be. Our site mimics an encyclopedia when it comes to characters and jutsu. Even dead characters, if relevant to their author's work, should be mentioned. And we know the Uchiha were a large clan; so, in all honesty, there could be thousands of Uchiha articles on this site, and I wouldn't care.

My problem is content. I'm tired of reading about the Uchiha that gets the Rinnegan, just because. Or the Uchiha that is the son of Sasuke or some shit. I'm tired of reading about characters, basically, who get their powers because they can. Take a look at my Ryun Uchiha. Look down at his references. Do you know I'm not even halfway done referencing that page? THAT is how development takes place. In a story. Where you can point to a chapter, a section, a page, and say, "That is where he got this power, and this is why." Not, "Well Sasuke has EMS now, so I'm gonna go add it to my character too", or "Madara has Wood Release, so lets go give my character that too." Look Ryun. His second roleplay has him using the Rinnegan as an upgrade of the Sharingan. That is five years before Kishimoto even placed such a thing in the manga. So it is staying on his page. If someone comes up with a story like that, where their character is gradually progressing, I don't care how powerful they become, because it is good writing.

Grammar is another problem on this site. When every other article I'm reading has run on sentences, no punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, or anything, then I, frankly, think the user is an idiot. That's not a good first impression to give someone. If you're at least 13, which you are supposed to be, buck up and write correctly, or get the fuck off this site. Period.

Those are the real problems. Restricting characters, jutsu, and other powers has been tried three different times on this site and failed miserably. Hell, those rules were in place before I came back to the site and you guys still had the same problem rampant; hence, the rule change. And also, here's a tip, if someone is that overpowered; refuse to roleplay with them. Eventually, they will get the picture, and either change it, or leave.
