Let's be honest - the situation in Fear (and earlier OT) between Nihilum and RD was what prompted these rules to go into place. Nobody else was complaining about being corpse camped because it wasn't a problem for anyone else.

I just think the way the LNS rule is being enforced is unnecessarily complicated. Everyone damn well knows when they're being corpse camped, and everyone damn well knows when they're camping corpse(s). We get massive YTs when a guild wipes another in a big fight, nobody is fooled by Dongshow saying 'he went berserk' in ooc when the YTs keep streaming in once every couple minutes. Making these complicated rules just scares people away from PvPing for fear of violating some undocumented clause of the PnP code.
Those examples may have gotten the most ForumQuest attention, but as leader of a guild of many new players, I received countless tells from people who informed me they would be quitting the server because they died to people like Ebtcard and he corpse camped them, or a FoH member, or some random twink in Unrest, who would sit on their corpse. Those people, since they don't ForumQuest and make a big noice in OOC, seem invisible, but believe me, they made up a huge number.
