I very much agree with the rest of your post but I just don't think it's fair to look at fflogs this way. The only time your performance is your own is when you're doing something solo. The rest of the time, good or bad, you aren't 100% responsible for or in control of those numbers to begin with much less enough so that you have any ownership over them.

While I never recommend it to anyone either hiding your logs is technically an option available to everyone. In situations like the OP is talking about I would say hiding logs is closer to an admission of guilt than anything though - very few people want to hide when they're doing well at something. I've partied with some people via PF with really sketchy fflogs pages and quite a few of then turned out to be completely fine.

Judging someone by their logs (especially when there aren't a lot of them) is silly but judging someone for deliberately hiding their performance is just common sense and healthy skepticism.
