You have to remember, the staff hates spelling out lots of explicit rules: that entire camp rules page had to be compiled by a player (me) from a bunch of disjointed random posts made by GMs over the course of a decade. And even that isn't "official" ... it's just that GMs tend to rule the same way as they describe in the forums.
Now, I could write a treatise on why I believe this approach is detrimental to them, and how their position on keeping rules as obscure as possible actually creates more disputes. That's why I took the time to compile the camp rules page ... and I'd argue that it's benefited the server for everyone to know the rules ... but again, it's not an official rulebook.
The only true rulebook is the PnP and what the GMs do in the game ... and again, we have a wealth of evidence from in-game that P99 staff support handing camps off to friends and guildmates, even when such handoffs result in weeks-long monopolization of camps by a few individuals.

I'm well aware you wrote the page, having played P99 from just about server up. And thanks! It's also been MY experience that GMs have supported the player-rules almost universally...from the inception of PnP. I also remember the chaos before PnP was enacted, and it wasn't pretty. If people want to be asshats I guess that's up to them...but asshats are the reason I won't play blue anymore. And no asshats wanna play on red anymore, either...where asshats belong, lol. So...I like green, and so far green seems to favor good player etiquette. Which is all anyone asks.
Also...if we really want to get technical...FTE would apply after camp holder has item (and yeah, I know you can't tell it's been looted. hence, asshattery). However, this is contrary to established player server rules and etiquette...which is why GM's would and should support lists.
