While I support the anonymous reporting system, I think there needs to be some tweaks to the existing process. This will probably be the subject of another thread.
I wish to thank all who have replied, there have been some interesting and insightful comments.
I also like the neatly kept yards, the houses that do NOT have the purple shutters, etc., and in an ideal world it would be nice if we could pickup the phone call a neighbor and say 'hey your whatever does not appear to be whatever with the neighborhood, would you consider doing (whatever) with it, in the real world, I doubt this would happen on friendly terms. I have a great relationship with all of my neighbors, and was very disappointed when I heard and saw some of the complaints, which was the reason for the initial post.

I any case I am getting an education reading all of the replies.
This happened in Tamarind Grove a few years back, done by a non resident of our village. (We had nothing out of compliance, so they skipped us.)

I know it was a non resident because she emailed the complaints, and under the FL sunshine laws, a Tamarind Grove owner was able to obtain the email.
