Man accidently replied "That's a 50 mile round trip." Another incident involved someone from outside The Villages using a dead Villagers ID. How can it be stopped?

Direct from Guest ID guidelines.

“ A resident who has a son, daughter, grandchild or great grandchild (and their spouses) who reside in Lake, Marion or Sumter counties may apply for an in-area guest ID card.)”

It is $80 a year. I know someone who has one, but I don’t think they are supposed to use the sports pool.

Where are the wise guys now who made fools of themselves denying such a thing existed and making fun of the question. They are the same ones who are hiding under a rock, will try to pretend they were joking or don't admit to being part of the crowd that should be denied access to TOTV. I believe some responses to this question represent some major violators of the basic rule of intent to actually respond to a member's question and there should be consequences!.:ohdear:

If you ask a simple question based on something you heard which did not sound logical you open yourself up to the group that are challenged when it comes to the ability to understand and comprehend subjects that go beyond a 1970 comic book. A number of residents will not use this great communication instrument because as they say there are a set of "bullies" who pride themselves in their actions to make fun of the users . You know who they are! They are the ones who keep watch on the material in TOTV and strike at users to discredit them and their questions. The unfortunate part of this is that some good questions or advice go unasked to avoid that group. Maybe if on the first clear attempts to disrupt participation in TOTV results in that person being denied access. It would be greater to have less participation in the posts and more positive participants than more bully participants and less meaningful interchanges of ideas and questions. We have used TOTV for many years and this has
been getting worse as times go on and the bullies grow as a larger group of the total. Since there are no controls for this group and no consequences their interference and behavior will continue to grow out of proportion to the total positive users. :ohdear:

I found this that said that immediate family of a resident can be issued guest passes for the length of one year if they live in Marion, Sumter or Lake County. Nothing was said at all about a fee for this that I can find.
