From my experience with posting and reviewing CCCs, the rules include:
 * Make sure your CCC is listed under "custom champions" in the categories, and not "blog posts".
 * Don't post a CCC that looks half-done. It's acceptable for a CCC to have a minor template error, such as a missing name or a value in the wrong color, but unacceptable entries include:
 * Posts whose templates are so broken as to make the contents unreadable or significantly difficult to read.
 * Posts with missing content, or content that clearly comes from another page (e.g. any post with bits of Mineko's Sandwich stuck in it). Excuses such as "this blog will be finished later" don't change this.
 * More a guideline than a rule, but please try to use templates to format your champion's stats and abilities, instead of listing them as paragraphs, which are hard to read.

I think the most important issue here is that of the rules' visibility: right now, there is no guide on CCCs that is easily accessible to users, particularly new users, despite the process requiring knowledge of multiple complex templates and serious planning ahead. This is likely why there are so many half-baked posts out there, since the users making them have no real resources to use when trying to put their concepts into blog format.

I also think just moving CCCs to another wiki would be a cop-out, and one that would not solve their issues there or here: even if we make CCCs another wiki's problem and not ours, new users coming here will still want to share their ideas, and if our rules for banning CCCs on the wiki are as poorly signposted as the current rules for making CCCs, then we'd still end up with problematic blog posts. We'd just be going back to square one.

So far, the problem has been primarily administrative: Mineko's grown tired of moderating CCCs and constantly seeing basic rules broken, yet no admin has made a move to improve the situation or make sure every user gets to know those rules as soon as they take a stab at creating champions. However, I don't think it's entirely the admins' responsibility to make sure this happens: as users, especially users in the CCC comunity, we need to get a project up that will not only make sure these rules get through to new users, but also give them all the resources they need to post fully-formed concepts. We need to establish the details of this project together, but I think one of the results should be a tab at the top of the wiki (alongside "On the Wiki", "League of Legends", etc.) that holds all of these rules and resources.
