How do you feel about painted bolts or stacking rocks on them when they are not in use?

Careful mate, its a slippery slope once you start demonising one user group.
I don't know the specific context (what crag? local bolting ethics?) but you are much better off being civil and starting a dialogue rather than jumping to the massive black scissors.
Lets not get all high and mighty that climbing is somehow 'more legit' than slacklining as you could quite easily ruin access for both user groups. Climbers have an impact (even at trad crags) and slackers have an impact. Lets work to minimise all impact and learn to play together!

Obviously you don't know anything about highlining. Most experience folk place the bolts as much as 10 feet back from the face. I personally don't see anything wrong with responsible bolting if you make efforts to hide them.

I don't see it as something to get yer panties in a wad. It's not like allowing a set of bolts will cause them to sprout everywhere, slackening spots are not just everywhere. I speak as an old trad guy who doesn't slack line. I do, however, see them in some of the places I climb on occasion. The Monkey Face mouth cave where you pretty much have to step over the steel channel iron that has maybe 3 big wedge anchors on each side keeping it pinned to the rock so folks can rarely (but still do) set up slacklines. If I don't want to see them I can simply climb another face (North, East, West all point to space and have no extraneous bolts). I don't understand why it would be an issue with others, but if you are feeling aggrieved or that someone is in your turf where ever you feel that is, talk it over with them.
