Depot staff do have to remove them (and there have been notices to remove them on examination from management) because most times they obscure real stickers which may have information which may benefit people like priority seats, emergency alarm information or station stops on the map. Which only detracts staff from other essential maintenance.
It also gives the impression that London is untidy and dirty, and the lawless just run free, not something we want to be assisting!
Like everything - one or two is funny even I will admit, then everybody jumps on the bandwagon and starts printing them and it becomes a right pain and isn't funny any more as they are so common. If we are not careful soon enough our system will be like the Paris Metro - full of graffiti, crap and stickers. We are very fortunate that LU trains don't often enter service with graffiti on them, if they do they are cleaned very quickly!
