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?
As is often the case here, we don't really have rules except for the most basic stuff. Everything else is lawyerquest theory until a particular situation gets resolved by a particular GM.

I'm hopeful that if we (as a player community) can get the rules cleaned up and create a solid archive of GM rulings, we can remove a lot of the guesswork that players currently have to go through to follow the rules, without having to bother anyone on staff. Then, someday maybe we can convince the staff that they can still do their jobs just as easily if they change their absolute position of "never codifying rulings" to "let the players know the rules are ahead of time" ... or at least I can dream.

But for now laywerquest until proven wrong or right by an in-game encounter is the law of the land.
