Yeah, the limitations on that kind of a game are pretty freakin' ridiculous. You must play a standard black or white hero or villain, the hero must be there by choice, they must be human, but you can't create a character specifically FOR this setting despite all the ridiculous rules. That is really, really, REALLY dumb.
I honestly don't get the hate for OCs. Yes, it puts some responsibility on the mods to screen for Sues/Stus, but honestly if a character isn't interesting enough due to how perfect, infallible, or all-powerful they are, people won't tag them and the player will eventually go elsewhere. It's really not rocket science.
