I quite often preplace gear on single pitch trad climbs which are at my limits as sport climb. I would imagine most people would be like myself and can climb around 3 grades harder on bolted climbs. And since bolts are also pre placed gear, pre placing trad gear is just turning the climb into a sports climb. I just claim the tick as a sport climb rather than trad, which is hardcore in the high grades. This opens up heaps more climbs, as any climb can be a sports climb, as long as there's gear available, you don't need bolts.
Climbing is just a game, and each of us decides how we want to play it.

Back on topic, chipping is of course the one big no no. I can understand the temptation when you get shut down on a move on a new project, but you have to remember - its stealing from the future.
