Of course. As a result, you couldn't practically /petition to complain unless someone has been there a really long time, and then a GM could decide how to handle it.
It's like I keep saying: the rules here exist to handle legitimate disputes between players ... not give forum elf lawyers reasons to do crazy things. If Bob has had (Guk) AC camp for an hour, and you want the camp ... well, too bad.
You can /petition after an hour, but the it's unlikely the GM is going to give you the camp. But if you've seen Bob sit there for eight hours at the camp? Sixteen? At some point the GM is likely to come back to the basic principle I keep repeating.
That principle is that this is a free server that everyone gets to play on out of the generosity of the staff. You have absolutely no "rights" to anything on that server, and to the contrary the same people who made the server also want its players to not be total selfish assholes, and instead to share scarce resources on the server.
As for what the exact magic number is for "how long is too long to hold AC camp"? That's not spelled out in any "book of rulings", so it's 100% up to the GM that responds to the /petition. And again:

True but this sounds like a rule the GMs would have no interest in seeing as it would simply create more disputes and work for them. People would be petitioning that someone would have been there too long, then they’d have to go check the logs for the past several hours, and I bet a decent amount of the time the item won’t have dropped so it would have been a moot petition. Current system is better. If they’re there, they have the camp. Simple.
