Speaking as a former committee member, I would have thought that the key to any complaint is evidence and not the name of someone alleging illegal parking.
It’s a form of bullying. My block recently passed a “name and shame” rule at an AGM at the chair’s insistence, saying that all correspondents to and from the committee MUST be named in the minutes. Next meeting, they (quite rightly) didn’t name someone who was already doing it a bit tough.
My argument was that if it can be used selectively, it shouldn’t be used at all. Needless to say, I was named in the minutes.
There should be a strata law that you provide the Lot Number, at most, if you NEED to identify residents, otherwise it’s just a weapon for control-freak chairs and secretaries (often the same person) to deter complaints and questions. Hey, it works in Russia, China and the Philippines, why wouldn’t it work in your unit block?
