Like I said, we've got a few knuckleheads on our local board.
You, obviously, don't have any knuckleheads in your association.
We've got 325 guys on our local board, the treasurer's job would be impossible to do without the threat of steep late fees. One doesn't ignore $50 fines. That isn't pocket change for most. And yet, we have guys who get fined every year. Forgetful, poor bookkeeping, lack of attention to detail, can't read a calendar, etc.
We had a guy a few years ago that lost his entire season schedule because he forgot to attend a mandatory new rules meeting (several sites offered, several dates offered).

I agree that when you are in charge of collecting fees from 325 you do need some threat of late fees. Thanks for all of the information and conversation!
