a good rule of thumb is to carry a wrench with you (an old open adjustable one) and tighten any loose bolts first, and then notify developers like "Team Suck" to tighten them to standard torque.

Or take some responsibility for your own climbing safety and tighten them, since you are the one who is aware/concerned about the safety of the bolts. Novel idea, I know.
