I'm an Admin, furthermore, I'm also in charge of content control. This means, that I have the authority to give away Rinnegans, as the moment the Rinnegan policy was put in place by me, there was no longer any reason for there to be a ban on the Rinnegan - although other Dojutsu are still banned.

Anyway, back to you, Narutorules - there are alot of other ways to awaken the Rinnegan, they simply require alot more creativity to unlock as opposed the more obvious ones. As for what consequences are, what you have listed ARE consequences, but their role in the story is pretty minimal except for the whole thing about losing his family and everything. They're not expanded on enough to be proper consequences, they're just added inconveniences.
