It's not bogus info at all.
What it is is simple: a record of past GM rulings. Since GMs for the most part rule consistently with each other, you can for the most part expect current GMs to do the same things as past GMs, and expect what's on that page to hold true in game when you petition.
BUT, the simple fact is that the staff doesn't want a "big book of rules" to exist. The camp rules page was 100% a player effort: they do not endorse it. If I hadn't compiled it, we'd only have the PnP, and you'd have to guess about everything that it doesn't cover (or do the forum research to find past rulings yourself).
Would it be nice to just have clear rules for everything? Yes. But that would make it harder for the volunteers to do their volunteer "job" (of dealing with those who ruin the fun for the rest of us), and that job is important so ... we don't.

Loramin I'm starting to understand the ecosystem we have here.. thank you for your attention and efforts. Seriously. It all makes sense.
Maybe one suggestion then is to make it blisteringly obvious the past GM rulings are not definitive rules. Newbies like me can't tell what are defined as hard EQ1999 rules, and I've seen tons of arguments on ooc about "go read th rules" that might have been spawned by the same issues. I think in general, everyone wants to play fair. And not be murderers in our society
