When I moved here I accepted the deed restrictions and as far as I know we comply with all of them and always will. That being said, it would take a major infraction for me to rat out a neighbor. First of all, when I have a problem with a neighbor I talk with that neighbor. Doesn't have to be a confrontation, usually just a conversation. I've never had to do that in TV but have done it in other places we've lived. I have enough of a backbone to speak with anyone face to face. I don't need anyone else to do it for me.
Second, some things just aren't that important to me. If they bother another resident, they all know how to knock on a door or dial a phone. I'm not about to walk around the neighborhood with a clipboard in hand.
You really have to make sure you know your neighbor. They can very easily crank up the stereo from 1 hour before sunrise and blast it until 10:00 P.M. They can have their guests routinely park in front of your home, day and night. There are ways to make you miserable which are perfectly legal. The identity of the enforcers is rarely a secret.
