I rent a condo in a complex that has a Board who is trying to enforce no skateboards, scooters, bikes, etc.. I have been there for 3 1/2 years and my neighbors who have been there longer than that have stated that this has never been enforced. There is a sign at the entrance to the complex that states that these items are not allowed to be rode. This sign has been there forever and nobody has ever enforced it. Last week a homeowner had a spat with a Board member, and now all of a sudden they are trying to enforce a “sign”. But there is no rule. I’m sure when the residents start showing out about it, the Board will have the rule put in the Rules and Regulations. How can we (renters and homeowners) prevent that?

If there are changes contemplated to your lease/owner contracts, then each lessee/owner must sign a new contract with the changes.
If you all refuse to sign the new contract, then they cannot change it.
Perhaps it is time for the condo owners to remove the offensive board member and install someone more in tune with their wishes.
HOA can do it as long as a complain is filed like your case. HOA can change the rule to make the community better. What you should do is to have HOA build a ground specifically for skateboards. You can collect the signature from all homeowners and show HOA a proof that people would like to have a skateboard area in the community. Don’t fight against HOA and try to use them at your side.
you have to know first it the thing being enforced has been approved by the board members or if it has been voted in by homeowners members.
They can create these rules and regulations provided that they have been given an authority to do such. The only question would be-if the rule is beneficial to all and was it agreed upon properly before it was implemented.
Strange that the HOA would go to the bother of making and placing a sign without also enacting something in writing to cover it.
