I believe the latter best describes it. And they are providing a free service to those of us who expect rule violations to be dealt with.

Their motivations are moot.

If they are driving around my neighborhood yet don't live here then they are busy bodies and should mind their own business. I like the idea of the previous poster that if the complainant does not live within two blocks then their complaint is discarded. Let me and my neighbors worry about our neighborhood - everyone else can tend to their own areas.

I will agree that their motivations are moot if they step foot on my property uninvited - in that case they are trespassers. Rules are rules after all.

Last year it was passed that white crosses were allowed moving forward. I thought it was for all districts but maybe not all…

Just can't see it that way (and 1 have zero deed violations). If TV wanted to send out an employee to check for compliance, fine. If they wanted community watch to report what they see, fine. But these old biddies are self-appointed deed compliance trolls with a clipboard and a broomstick up their you know what. And people support that concept????

OK, in that case, if I grab a Glock and go out into Wildwood at night and hunt lawbreakers, am I some kind of hero doing the community a "free service" for those of us who expect law violations to be dealt with? Or just another nut job vigilante? I believe the latter would best describe it. And I doubt anyone would consider that motivation "moot"

Does Community Standards do anything to verify complaints?

Who is accountable for false complaints?

Care to explain that????? Or was the analogy too complicated for you to understand???

See post #69. No one gets a slap on the wrist, or their complaints halted. Some CDD have voted on different rules, to try to curb the clipboards, by no longer allowing anonymous complaints, and complaints filled out, not just list of addresses on paper

Comparing shooting lawbreakers with reporting violators is ludicrous.

Their motivations are moot, as there would be no motivation if owners did not violate rules which they agreed to abide by when they bought.

One question...

Which calibre and what is the magazine capacity?

Your sarcasm meter needs an adjustment...

Your post is "ludicrous".

Let's see---- a comparison:

Both are sticking their nose in where it does not belong
Neither are authorized to be doing what they are doing
Both may, in the course of their actions, trespass
And the guy with the gun's motivation is "moot" because there would be no motivation if people didn't break the law?????
Only the severity of the consequences is different in my analogy
Therefore, I've just answered my own question----you ARE incapable of understanding the analogy. How about the other guy?

It is truly ironic that some residents not only feel entitled to disregard the rules they agreed to when getting approval to purchase in the Villages but actually put the Cristian symbol of the cross on the same level as a bouncing head of a plastic Flamingo or a fake pot of flowers. They truly disgrace the Churches and religions they are trying to boast about. It is symbolic of the lengths some will go to by bringing the meaning of the cross down to some cheap plastic or wood eye sore in order to let people who don't care and are more respectable of their
beliefs.

If they set foot on your property they are in fact trespassing and violating more than deed restrictions.

Most crosses are for lost loved ones. They are not to be considered lawn ornaments and are allowed as of last year.
