I would not be upset if a neighbor made me aware that I had a violation and would promptly correct the issue.
You are absolutely right. Everyone knows what is and is not allowed in the deed restrictions.

You are saying, aren't you, that if it was a neighbor - or person close by your house - that you would first tell them in person that they have some violation before calling it to the attention of Deed Compliance? That would be the friendly thing to do - but also may be tough to handle if they did not correct the violation and you called it in later.
