Hiding the pin collections and pin reviews doesn't bother me. It's their preference. But for those that do share that info, I can tell if I should value their opinion. If someone has all EM's and rates all of the new pins (in general) really low, then they have a different pinball interest than me - not that there is anything wrong with that. Others that have similar types of pins and rate pins similar to me, I do value their opinions more than others. The typical trolls and thread bullies usually don't show their collection so that they don't have to get defensive about it. You will see that often.

I only had one person ask if one of my pins was for sale - 2 months after I got it and wasn't ready to part with it yet. I haven't sold a pin yet ... guess I'm currently still a pinball hoarder. I got room for two more, then I will need to sell one to buy one.

What does bother me is public pinball locations not keeping their pinball inventory current on the "pinball map". I have updated a few of those in the past when a local show was coming up so that others would know what pinball locations had to play. When I travel and want to go play some pins, it's annoying/disappointing to go there and find out that they don't have some of those pins anymore.
