It would be more amusing if it weren't the 743rd time this very subject led to this very same discussion.

You'll need to get in line.

I'm up for all sorts of awards, and can only accept nominations for really important ones.

One thing about just removing crappy looking gear, even if it is occasionally annoying, is that it increases the chance that someone will actually get up there and fix it. Personally, I can deal with the occasional gumby mistake of removing something unnecessarily more than those who leave something obviously dangerous like a really sharp worn fixed biner just because they are lazy or worried that they don't have anything to replace it atm. It is better to be inconvenienced than dead.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
