Find out where she lives and put a bunch of lawn ornaments in her yard (late some night)

Okay. Then what?

How about limiting the number of complaints any single Villager can make in a year to 5 or 10?

This wack job appears to be making at least 50 at a pop.

I’m not getting involved in this conversation other than to comment that quite often when I am driving around in my cart, I like to stop and admire someone’s landscaping. Now I’m afraid to stop and look. Someone may think I’m writing up a complaint.

Obviously this person has a limited social life and enjoys this. My suggestion to "get even" with this person is the following;

- Get you neighbors together via the private neighborhood blogs
- Wait until late evening
- All go out and remove your violations

Imagine her shock and disappointment when she comes back and finds NOTHING to report!

You'll probably never see her again, isn't worth it?

I love it! :1rotfl:


:boom:

Great idea.

But how would they know the violations? If they did why are they there?

When I was in high school we used to toilet paper houses, only those of other kids we knew well and liked. It was an honor to have your house TPed. Now that was in NM, a relatively arid state. With the rain in Central Florida it would make a mess and we only did it to people we liked.

Once in a while we would put standing signs from business such as 'We have clean restrooms' in a favorite teacher's driveway.

Maybe someone could follow her home to find out where she lives, and as someone previously suggested, plant her a yard full of crosses, pink flamingos, whatever. Then everyone in the whole group could individually file reports on her.

Think about it, she drives up and down each street, in two villages. Writing 50 complaints in each village.

The possibility of a get even vendetta because someone turned her in, makes total sense.

However she must spend hours everyday driving up and down streets. Plus writing down each infraction.

Can you imagine when she calls community standards, how long it take to report 100 complaints. Think about working in that office phone rings, they know who is calling, and how much time they are going to have to deal with her. Instead of their regular work. The paperwork alone has to be mind boggling, much less taking each complaint. Even if she emails they still have to read them, fill out the paperwork and then distribute, to the compliance people.

Somewhere TV is going to figure out the amount of man hours one person is generating and find a better solution.

My guess is she maybe a very lonely person, thought she had friends, that turned her in. She must have felt betrayed by her neighbors, and this her her coping mechanism. Hoping she can find a better avenue to fix this, maybe volunteer at a shelter, or foster a fur baby, to take up some hours in her day.

I just feel bad for the office people.

Don’t. They get paid to deal with all kinds of nut jobs. Even those who are emotionally involved with their yard “art” to the point of seeking revenge for being asked to comply to standards they agreed to.

:agree: Bet they have a nickname for her!

Since it's BOTH on the Internet AND posted in your village chatroom then it absolutely must be true! LOL

I say ask for a recount. Sounds like fake news. :D

Maybe she's on commission?

and then, if CS finds that the same person/persons are filing frivilous complaints (complaints about things the person complaining about is making up, that aren't valid, are a total waste of CS's time and resources), or are clearly two neighbors who are catfighting and using CS as their weapon of choice, CS can confront the person making the complaints and tell them to stop it.

People on this thread are acting as though the only possible deed violations that can be complained about are statues/lawn ornaments and similar. A snowbird who isn't THERE to see that the landscaper missed a week, or a patch of grass has turned brown, can't bring the property into compliance because - he's not THERE.

If someone knows their neighbor isn't home, and has a beef with his neighbor, it's easy to call CS and complain that the grass is 1/2 inch over the max allowed. Or that there are exactly three weeds in the flower bed out front and that has to be dealt with immediately.

Or whatever else. People who make dozens of complaints in the same day, aren't just picking out statues to complain about. They're FINDING things that most people wouldn't even notice. They're looking for anything that could possibly be investigated. Or - they're flat out making things up JUST to cause trouble for someone they don't like.

CS has no way of monitoring this, because complaints are allowed to be made anonymously. CS should know exactly who is making every single complaint, and where each person complaining lives.

And - complaints should only be valid if they come from people with a valid Villages ID.
