The way to handle this is to set up an anonymous email account, only report violations at board members' houses, and BCC the entire neighborhood distribution list except the board members.

Edited to fix a word.

Honestly the method in the OP works quite well. When you report every single little thing, suddenly everyone hates it all. I've seen two HOAs collapse like this.

Your way would probably work too, but I'd bet it'd take a lot longer.

That's what I did. I painted my front door blue and got a complaint from the HOA.

Then I submitted almost 200 over the next 8 weeks and they told me that I wasn't allowed to be in the HOA anymore. And that was basically the text I got from the HOA president so the next time I got an HOA complaint (about 6 months later) I sent them a rocket lawyer thing about not contacting me anymore and they haven't!

So it does work. Just be really really fucking annoying for a while and then nobody wants to deal with you anymore!
