To give you an example of what I mean, I had a player, who is the king of Rohan, who made an elaborate redstone lava trap right in front of the Golden Hall. Nowhere in the canon does it say this can exist in Rohan, and therefore, has no place in Middle-earth. Had I not stepped in, he would've made the kingdom of Rohan as a guinea pig for testing all sorts of things. Balrogs would be running free around the place, redstone machines on top of all the houses, portals of all sorts would be scattered around the place, etc. Unacceptable.

Just, think about what would actually exist in Middle-earth. As long as it can exist in the canon lore, then it is fine. Redstone is necessary for things like gates, and that's totally fine. Again, by complex, I mean really exotic, outlandish creations that have no place in Middle-earth.
