Rules for listing at a non-/list camp

[Smellybuttface]

I wanted to try and clarify the rules for this before potentially posting this in an RnF thread...

This is second-hand information, but trying to get some idea how this works. Hadden camp had two people in line. Individual who was #1 on the list looted his earring, and was going to pass it to the next person on the list but they weren't there. Now the rules as I understand it is that the next person on the list need only be present when the next placeholder/Hadden spawns (which is on a 6-hour spawn). #3 on the list was present at the camp during this time, but evidently (by the rules) couldn't take over the camp even though the next in line hadn't actually showed up yet.

Now cut to 6 hours later, the #2 person shows up prior to the spawn and kills Hadden. He gets his earring. However, SOME sort of altercation occurred between this individual and the person next on the list, and the one who just looted the earring claimed that because HE now had the camp, he could pass it to whoever he wants (thus effectively removing the next person who was on the list, who had been waiting at the camp for around 16 hours already).

Even though this isn't a /list camp, I'm assuming someone can't just "remove" the next person on the list, even if they have some sort of problem with them. They have to honor the list that was in place.

Am I misunderstanding the rules for a non-list camped list? I don't think the #1 on the list can just arbitrarily "remove" someone in order to give it to someone else of their choosing, because there was a list for that camp already in place.

Appreciate any advice or clarity you can provide.
