View submission: New and improved post requirements
Our sub has found some pretty significant bugs with the post validation methods. By changing the element focus on the submission page, the post button can be reenabled even when post requirements are not met, allowing users to completely bypass the requirements.

Yup. On desktop on the submit page, clicking and changing focus in the title box, in the text box, between the two, or outside the area entirely would alternate between enable/toggle and then disable/untoggle the Post button. Easily replicated by several of our mods.
Oops!

This is a bug that we'll be fixing very soon. We'll be removing the disabled state on the submit button because we want the users to be able to *attempt* to submit even if their post breaks some rules. Then the server will reject the post and the user will see a helpful message about what they need to fix.
