Deciding when is the correct time to wipe Guest can be a pain in the ass. Those of us with a conscious don't want to wipe it while people are working on their builds, and what about those (not so rare) times when there are no Admins online for hours at a time?
I vote for each rank-based world, we set up a specific schedule to wipe it clean.
Guest - Twice per day
Other Guest worlds - Daily
Builder1,2,3 - Twice Weekly
Adv1,2 - Weekly
Adv3 - Twice Monthly (Much larger space to work in, since the giant /z air)
Probuilder worlds - Monthly
Perhaps if guests are working on something (important enough to finish, that is) it can be postponed at maximum an hour. Players working in other worlds can simply have their builds copy-pasted elsewhere, then brought back if need be.
For the long-term builds for each rank, I vote we create a single large world for each, meant specifically for the purpose of both holding builds that will be "In Progress" for a long time. This could also double as a world in which we can hold in progress builds until the wipe of the short-term world is finished, then move them back over.
I bring this idea up because as Au70 becomes more popular, the lack of structure we've become so used to has started to become a liability. Dozens of guests are online at any given time, at least half of them not knowing how to use Minecraft and probably never going to return again, the other half still questionable in their worth..... These days, I find Guest being wiped on average three or four times a day, though often when there is still a lot of space left to build. And the Builder worlds have become entirely useless,

but wipeing the worlds every once and a while should prove to be benifical
