I agree with what you said Loramin. The problems I see:
1) You're trusting the people keeping the "list" to adhere to their word. It appears that many at AC camp are not.
2) If they break the list and you report it to the GM, what is the burden of proof like to prove that you were slighted?
3) Will all GM's concur that lists are enforceable player agreements?
4) Even if a GM concurs and you can demonstrate sufficiently that you were slighted, what are the chances that a GM will be bothered to care about a slight of this nature?
If you're ok with those problems, then continue putting your name on lists and go about your way. If you don't worry too much about it, I don't think you'll be negatively affected too much.
If you're like the OP though and you really want that AC camp, you do not have to agree to the list. Player agreements aren't enforceable if both parties don't agree. Unless there is a specific rule written that says a player made list for a camp now becomes a server wide binding agreement, which I think is highly doubtful.
