As far as who is reporting me, I couldn't care less as I'm either in compliance, or I'm not. Even the police use anonymous tips, to minimize the potential of retribution or payback, and I would think the same reasoning would apply to those reporting a lack of compliance. As I understand it, the non-compliance has to be investigated by a TV representative before action can be taken, so what is the purpose of demanding to know the person who reported it? "Facing your accuser" doesn't apply in this case, since the actual accuser will be the TV rep after they've investigated and I'll know who that is when they contact me.

...and if there's someone you met at a restaurant, who has decided he has a beef with you and finds out where you live -
he can MAKE UP FAKE OFFENSES and submit formal complaints against you, and there's nothing you can do about it, and there's nothing the compliance people can do about it, for as long as he is allowed to do so anonymously.
I've only heard of this happening once. But it has, and can, happen. Pretty sure it was an ex-husband or ex-boyfriend or former best friend, someone who knew the resident and had a falling out with them. They submitted several complaints, spaced apart by a few weeks, bringing the compliance folks over to her house fairly regularly to check out the complaints. They had to, because they had no way of knowing who the person making the complaint was, and had no way of knowing that the person making the complaint wasn't even a Villager.
