Lists and hand offs can go on forever.

Just get your name put on the list . Simple really. The list might be long but there is an end to the list .

No one is obligated to offer a list. Once they do they have to follow it (although it's not at all clear that the person who takes over has to), but by the server rules you can keep passing camps to your friends without a list ... which, right there, seems to be the entire crux of the problem.

If the staff just added a single rule, something to the effect of "everyone must maintain a list of people who want their camp if they want to hold a camp, and when they are done they must pass the camp to the first person on the list still present" it would completely eliminate lockdowns.

The fact that the staff hasn't created such a rule yet implies that they somehow think that rule would be worse (possibly for them, from a CS perspective) than camp locks.
