Ummm, just be cool and don’t bother. You want to get in a legal battle with an HOA? You’ll be paying partially for their lawyer. Just chill and move out.
"We are moving 100% due to their insanity"
So you're asking the internet for help in an immature personal war against an HOA because of their insanity? Knowing nothing of the situation because you offered very little in detail, I'm going to wager you're all insane and that Freshman level moniker under your id is fairly accurate.
In other words, grow up, my man. You're not Al Bundy and the internet cares very little of your personal vendettas.

Pretend the HOA was run by a bunch of republicans..
We would need to see the HOA bylaws to give you a legit way to push the boundaries while adhering to their rules.Live in an HOA controlled community, for only 6 to 8 months longer while we build. We are moving 100% due to their insanity. So now I just want to screw with them in as many (legal) ways that I can.
Completely open to suggestions.
Going off that...here's an idea, OP.Have you thought about putting a Porta-Potty or two in your front yard? Those are often allowed for short term (30-60 day) construction projects. Be sure not to empty it.
Something more permanent...You could buy some Bermuda grass seed. That stuff will take over traditional lawns and common spaces. Looks terrible mixed in with bluegrass.

F*ck HOA's and anyone who supports them.
better poor than a whiney little B itch.You sound poor.
Moves into a neighborhood with an HOA
Complains about having to live under the bylaws of the HOA
Perhaps try not moving to a place with an HOA next time.
What kind of “insanity” are you dealing with? They won’t let you have a yard sale? You can’t park your camper in the driveway for the neighborhood to look at? They sent you a cease-and-desist order for your Walmart above ground pool?
Maybe try not making assumptions?
The HOA and bylaws are fine and standard. A few members have taken over and decided to “reinterpret” the bylaws. Several attorneys agreed they are violating federal law, but would cost upward of 50k to fight. Moving instead…
I’ll leave the fight to others. I just want to be petty in the way out.
-1st...never move somewhere with an hoa.
-2nd, hoa's aren't for wealthy people. It's a middle class new neighborhood thing. Real estate pricing should rule out the kind of neighbors that warrant rules that would require an hoa.
Please give an example of the reinterpretation
I can think of some nice neighborhoods by the standards of where I’m from that are trashed by people who don’t take care of their property, park enormous RVs in the drive, etc. I’m not sure money always confers taste or class or even respect for the neighbors. Think Al Czervik.-i disagee, but there is an outside chance...i reckon it depends on what one's definition of wealthy is.
There are people that have had the benefit of generational wealth. Glenview, a city within Louisville, has the second highest per capita income in Kentucky.-i disagee, but there is an outside chance...i reckon it depends on what one's definition of wealthy is.

As a past HOA President (out of necessity), I've seen first-hand how a few "crazies" can take up 90% of your time by liberally interpreting Bylaws & Guidelines.... And making some of your neighbors' lives hell....
For example: I live in an equine community and one individual complained to the Board thru a lawyer that a neighbor's horse trailer made too much noise and they should have to buy something newer... etc., etc.
If you really want to mess with them...(and I don't recommend it)... just take the high road and move...
But...
You could:
(1) DEMAND to see all of the financials .. (its your right), though if well structured (which we eventually did), it should cost you $$ to make this request (some nominal charge).
and
(2) Send out a community-wide email listing all of your issues, and why to Board sucks, and is being overly intrusive, or not doing their jobs... I guarantee the B0ARD feels otherwise and this will irritate the hell out of them...
(-:
plz see earlier recommendation on taking "the high road"
So you are one of those “the rules don’t apply to me” people. That tracks
Just post a sign that you are having a yard sale but put someone else’s address down on the sign.
Place multiple signs with multiple addresses. Do this weekly and make them piss everyone off by sending threatening letters.
How are they restricting children?
Restricting playhouses, play sets, basketball goals is a way to prevent people with kids from moving in. This is pretty common when a planned development wants it to be adults only.z
I doubt they have a bylaw that says “no kids”
I also gave you a pretty good way to mess with them. Best way is to turn neighbor against neighbor. You also could make some sock accounts on next door and start a disinformation campaign.
I recommend bamboo for the same reason. The only thing that stops it from spreading is a backhoe. I suppose that’s more for hating your neighbors than hating the hoa.Something more permanent...You could buy some Bermuda grass seed. That stuff will take over traditional lawns and common spaces.
