Isn't that easier than worrying about bullies or not having a chair when you know it's going to be crowded? I think it's a shame when someone gives up something they enjoy and blames it on the system not working or big brother looking the other way.
I would think Villagers more than other retirees, would tend to be problem solvers. There were so many obstacles to overcome and problems to solve in order to move here.
Something doesn't sound right.

A great solution in theory---avoids confrontations, guarantees a seat, cheap and easy for most.
However, it does not address the underlying issue---rude and obnoxious people violating the policy at the expense of others. If the residents of TV do not want a no seat saving policy, then just drop it. But do not selectively enforce the rules. I can give 300 recent examples of selective law enforcement---they are called sanctuary cities, and we found out where that leads. Another recent thread dealt with a woman going from neighborhood to neighborhood reporting garden gnomes. There were many who defended her, so why ignore the seat savers?
Lastly, let's project your solution to its logical conclusion. Human nature being what it is, more and more people will start thinking "Why should I haul chairs to the square when others get away with saving them?". So more people will start saving chairs until there aren't enough chairs to "save" Then the confrontation will be between seat savers fighting each other over who gets to save THEIR chair. Same problem, different players. Maybe they deserve it.
