At one time they were, but that's been changed recently. It's probably because AU characters have no actual limit to what can happen in the story, since it doesn't have to fit within the canon. This makes Sues almost a gaurantee. (Most people who make AU only do so because the canon prevents them from doing what they want in the actual story.) Also, if your AU changes too much from the canon, then is it really even worth calling it a Naruto OC?

And honestly, I'm ok with that. I've never really been a fan of AU stories I've seen. But good ones are probably out there... somewhere....
