Now, assuming that will never happen, I side with those that feel a complaint should only be taken from someone who lives in the neighborhood. It's not so much that violators should get away with it, nor that it really matters who reports it. But there is a cost involved in investigating a complaint, a cost that we all bear through our taxes and fees. These trolls that report 30 violations have essentially made this their "hobby". I, for one, do not feel the need to subsidize the hobby of a stranger living 6 miles away. Besides, it should be incumbent upon those that have to see a violation every day to report it, not some hobby tourist who will probably never pass by again.
Be careful. If they loose that hobby, they may take up golf and start reporting everything they think is wrong with your game. We'll be hearing reports of you "hooking your slice", or putting out of the sand traps.
