'Fake HOA [knows] no boundaries:' Board member discovers fraud in her HOA and gets them all to "retire quietly," but now she's getting bullied

Sometimes there are situations that make you stop and think, "what would you do?" There are countless Reddit threads that make you ponder just this. 

Recently, we came across one about a fake HOA. A citizen had gotten onto the HOA board and was excited to make the community a better place. She was already working with the city's Parks department and even an environmental non-profit. Her first project was to make a beautiful park. However, after being part of this HOA for a few years, she started to uncover some sketchy information. 

Eventually, she realized that the HOA was actually a total fraud and not official in any since. She didn't hesitate to call out her fellow board members and quit herself. Instead of the drama exploding, the members started to quietly retire or quit and stop calling themselves the HOA, but more of a volunteer group and the fines were not mandatory. 

This was a start, she supposed, but she still wanted to get her park done. So she still worked on it, but the remaining members of the fake "HOA" decided to go against her. They started spreading rumors about her and stopping any progress on her parks project. She turns to Reddit now for help and advice.
