No Controls to Moderate Bad Actors on the BOARD as well as HOMEOWNERS

I have lived in a SFH neighborhood of 634 homes for 15 years. For 12 years they mowed the grass and paid for operating expenses for the pool. But there was no compliance monitoring, no maintenance or repair, and the board intentionally manipulated the reserve study to artificially keep dues low. They didn't even attempt to collect on debt. The argumentative, disrespectful homeowners essentially ran the show. Now no one who did maintain their home can afford to move. So NOW we are trying to repair, update the reserve study, etc and people want to dominate our time over their "right" to paint their homes fluorescent green. Social media has blown up the sense of victimization to an extreme point where no one attends the meetings, reads the documents, and they think that threatening board members and posting highly edited stories for sympathy online are the way to go. Please don't exacerbate this with new, silly legislation that allows this to continue. My HOA rarely fines people and never foreclosed on anyone's home but online you'd think it happens every day from the creative stories people post. It quickly becomes emotionally overwhelming for board members who are volunteering just to help their community. I forwarded a lady the guidelines for painting once and now she's posting online that a power hungry jerk (me) has been "harassing" her. In retaliation for the presence of too many grasshoppers behind his home another homeowner told me he'd egg my house as I was trying to set up repairs for the pool gate. This was all in a single day. We get like 2 homeowners at each meeting, no matter how fun or interesting we try to make the meetings. The hate is too much. We are constantly attacked for not doing the things that last year's legislation removed as well.
