"Joke submissions are disabled for the forseeable future" #488

Closed hwood-vivup closed 10 months ago

If we try to submit a joke, filling in the form, it responds with "Joke submissions are disabled for the forseeable future" only after filling in the form.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the unwanted behavior:

  1. Follow the link where the website says "To submit a new joke, please click here."
  2. Spend a few minutes carefully typing in your wonderfully crafted joke
  3. Click "Submit>"
  4. You have wasted your time because "Joke submissions are disabled for the forseeable future"

Expected behavior

The website should not invite you to submit a joke, and should not have a form to fill in. The "submit" section should explain that the submissions are disabled instead of showing a form (deleted it. restore it in the future).

It could also have explanation of why submissions are disabled. The section could then be linked from the README "submissions are disabled" note.

Fair, I probably should've done that a long time ago. It was meant more as a temporary band-aid but stayed for a much longer time. I'll see about getting it done soon.
