Because it is a loaded question.
Some fool is going to misunderstand/interpret the "stated" rule, play rule lawyer, and go and sit in the middle of somebody's camp in KC and claim that he can take any single spawn in the game if he is willing to sit there.

And this anti-social miscreant you're talking about ... do you honestly think they're going to behave like an angel just because they don't know the rules? People who behave badly are going to behave badly whether or not they understand the server rules. But if more of the server knew the rules they'd be able to call the rule-breakers out instead of (as often is the case with the newer folks) thinking this server is full of jerks with nothing to stop them from being jerks.
I don't understand why the rules have to be some secret document that's spread across hundreds of forum posts and made up of GM messages, people claiming that a GM said something, people who have no idea what they're about (but that doesn't stop them), etc. all just because a few people might try to game the system. I can't speak for GMs, but I'd be willing to bet rules lawyers aren't even a quarter of as much of a problem as rule-breakers are, and I really doubt that they care if someone tries to lawyer them (they'll just allocate the punishment they see fit regardless).
The whole server should know and play by the rules, and the fastest way to get the later is to make the former happen, IMHO.
P.S. And there's nothing at all wrong with stating rules like "You can take a single camp in the outdoors, or multiple camps indoors until someone wants one ... and the GMs can and will override this whenever they damn well feel like it if they feel someone is abusing this rule." Simple solution even if you think laywers are a real problem.
