Maybe, but part of creative freedom means the ability to bend the rules a bit. Personally, I like OCs when they fit into my impression of the RWBYverse and I think that impression overlaps with the general impression in quite a few places.

Full creative freedom is, in no way, what I'm suggesting. Everyone seems very keen to jump on the slippery slope argument whenever I bring this up. I'm not suggesting, complete anarchy. OCs won't be overpowered if the admins just know what they're doing.

Also I believe that members might be more aware of expectations then people give them credit for. I know this is just personal experience but I hang out in the chat and people do come in and ask for help with their OCs, and those people stick around too. I also review characters when it's convenient and find the number of blatantly OP characters to be pretty low.
