You are bound by the rules and regulations as legally adopted by your HOA. Accordingly, if there is a no flagpole rule, then you are prohited from erecting one.

If that no flagpoles is a rule that has been properly adopted by the HOA (e.g. it was adopted by the proper vote and procedure), then yes, they can do this. It is well within a HOA's generaly power (i.e. within the realm of what HOAs can do) to tell you what you can put in your front yard, assuming again that in this case, the rule was properly adopted.
