Do they ever make a rolling stop in a car? Do they always use their blinkers when changing lanes? How would a troll feel if someone followed them to report any traffic violations? It really is the same principle. I just can not understand the mentality of why someone would want to do that? A feeling of power by a disgruntled person who has none?

I tend to agree. Yes, everyone should abide by the deed restrictions they agreed to, and yes, the system allows for anonymous complaints. However, it just seems fundamentally wrong for miserable people with nothing better to do travel from village to village and report what they perceive to be violations when it in no way affects them. If there is a problem, it is those directly affected with having to see it or worry about property values---the neighbors---to report it, not some old biddies. Even though the end result may be the same, it just seems different---kind of like getting a speeding ticket because a LEO pulled you over vs. getting one in the mail because a traffic cam caught you. And to those that have defended these trolls, ask yourself----would you arm these "ladies" with a radar gun and camera and let them report traffic violations?
