Most everything is weighted heavily in favor of the board and association, and generally no one wants to join in with other strangers in a lawsuit, and piss off the cool kids that run everything. Bad culture inevitably takes root as more and more small things are overlooked and become "normal". Once established as "how we do things here", the shareholders, especially the new ones, don't really know what's the right or wrong way to do things anymore.

Best bet is to move, or sue them badly enough they are forced to close their nonprofit. The old "When you go for the king, you must kill the king" holds true. Suing them just a little and hoping they get the hint to straighten up just invites the ire of every shareholder in the HOA that desperately wants to believe they made a good call buying into the HOA. You will not reform a corrupted HOA... You can either live with it or destroy it. My 2 cents based on personal experience.
