You can choose to be compliant or not. If you are non-compliant and you are reported your choice is to either become compliant or be fined. There is nothing emotional about this. You have legally agreed to the deed restrictions. You are an adult and can act as you please but make no mistake about the fact that there are consequences to your actions.
You can also be 100% compliant and STILL have someone with a grudge against you submitting complaints about your property. The CS will investigate every single complaint against your property. There's nothing you or they can do about it. They must investigate every single one, BECAUSE they are allowed to be provided anonymously.

If people had to tell CS who they are, and verify that they are, in fact a resident of the Villages, then there might be a significant reduction in the number of bogus complaints against homeowners who are 100% compliant.

I have no problem with being compliant, if I chose to live in the more restricted areas of TV I would do my part in conforming as required. But when people start calling CS to rat me out for something that isn't even happening, I want CS to make that kind of thing stop. They can't make it stop if they don't know who it is.

Put it this way: anyone, anywhere in the country, or even in the world, can submit complaints against YOUR property. Community Standards will check out every single complaint. Someone living in Ohio could submit one complaint every week against every single home in an entire village neighborhood, for two years, and CS would have to check it out.

Seems a huge waste of labor to me, when it would be much easier to plug the complaint into a database, and if it red-flags as a nuisance complainer, you send a cease and desist, and put a block on that person's ability to submit complaints.
