To be in compliance with the white cross: it can be put on your door or made to be part of a flower pot like I did.
Not sure, but maybe it can also be attached to your lamp post.

OP your option is to move north where the restrictions are less. Most likely the person that turned you in, was in fact dealt the same hand.
They had something that did not fit the deed restrictions everyone signed, and therefore are out to do a cleanse of others.

Everyone thinks this is about religious beliefs, if you had a purple frog in the same place it would still be a violation.

There are so many ways to practice your religion. Removing the cross is a small gesture to accommodate your development and your neighbors. Good for you to take it inside.
Indeed, life is too short!

If you’re offended by trolls why do you check out others like a troll. Looks hypocritical. Stop worrying about others and zip it

Place inside window looking out. Older section are allow.

Sounds like someone doesnt like religions.

There would be absolutely no discussion of the cross issue, trolls etc. if you just follow the rules. This is so basic.

Anything that happens as a result of an owner not following the rules is to be blamed on the violator. It makes no difference who reported what.

Unfortunately there are owners who feel entitled, then take no responsibility for the actions...just blame others.

Why worry so much about a piece of wood painted white if Jesus is supposedly in your heart.

Ever notice homeowners of these crosses place then in different angles of their house so everyone can see them from the street. Its kind of saying look at me I’m a Christian but hide behind it while doing their devilish deeds to others, it happened to me…
Crosses or any other religious symbols belong in a Church, Graves or around the neck…..

The "little white crosses" are allowed because FCC regulations are superior to deed restrictions. These crosses are simply devices that are used to communicate with God. No different than satellite dishes or antennae, but more critical.

How funny is that, never looked at it that way!

I know the rules --- they are being broken all over the villages and with very little consequences. With the exception of putting the white cross in my front yard, I have complied with them all. What I would like to see is that Community Standards do the checking and enforcing the rules, NOT trolls who can selectively report any one and anything they want. Also, if I wanted to report any individual I would not hesitate to use my name.

That would require a paid job to manage that when we can do it for free. You can tell I am a fiscal......nevermind.

And if you used your name, they still wouldn't tell anyone. But if people HAD to use their name, then people would know who told on them and it would be uncomfortable to go to get togethers and people might just try to let their dogs...visit your yard or might poop on it themselves. I say anonymity is the best and the not paying someone is the best, just like it is now.

Other then for religion what do the white crosses stand for.

The bottom line is you violated your covenants...deal with it. That other neighbors haven't been turned in is the way life is...not always fair.

"My style of religion" is not aggresive. What I meant it to say is "everyone can believe in what they choose". Choices people, Choices!!!

I'm not a famous business philosopher (heck, I'm not any kind of philosopher). But I am a homeowner who bought my house expecting others to comply with the deed resrictions THEY AGREED TO. You dont have to like it. Because yes, the rules ARE the rules.
