Who cares who reported or how the violation is reported? Who cares if people find their jollies reporting? Who cares if it is not the reporters business? The issue is the violation.

You are projecting blame or blame-shifting. If there was no violation, there would be no trolls to blame, no bad reporting system to blame. If the report was made-up, nothing happens.

Why not examine your own motivation to violate, or the motivation of others who violate?

You seem to think every "offense" is leading toward trailer trash when, in fact, the offense sometimes is a beautiful lawn ornament that enhances a yard. Sometimes it is a necessity for a disabled person who wasn't aware that adding a few bricks to the side of his driveway for safety's sake was a big deal. Sometimes a homeowner is in distress and it would be so much kinder for those trollers to stop and see if assistance in yard work is needed. And sometimes it is a vindictive person who makes things up! (Yes, this happened to a friend of mine.) From the many "violations" I have read about, they are petty things which could easily be taken care of by neighbors talking to each other. If it isn't your neighborhood, it isn't your business; if it is your neighborhood, then how about taking The Villages mantra into account: "Florida's Friendliest Hometown". Make it so.
