Because they knew that they would be protected by the rules, and that a majority could amend the rules to prevent thoughtless behavior by a rude neighbor (such as one who boils cabbage regularly to deliberately create a nuisance.)

Sorry, but there is no legal act conducted inside one's dwelling that can even qualify as rude. What's rude is someone telling you to change your private behavior because in their OPINION, cigarette smoke stinks. Tough squat! Let them sue the manufacturer of the building.

Of course there is.

Let's take FR for example. I could type a response to you full of profanities and obscenities, which would be rude and unjustified. I am in my dwelling right now, and it is legal for me to do so.

However, it would effect you wherever you are and be a violation of the "community" rules in effect here. The OPINION that profanity is offensive is one that this community and its management has agreed is valid, and if I desire to participate in this community, I must abide by that opinion.
