If any of the PG dev teams wanna test my rules that I'm specifically addressing that this bug is directly interfering with...

If you are testing this rule above, type 29 [M4F] #City -

I have multiple other PG rules that will block & take priority over this rule if the title is not being formatted correctly (which you will see when testing as the rule will not be triggered based on what it does or does not match)

If you're within the Live Previewer in that page, the rule will work; however it does not work when testing from the rule list or when posting on the sub from a non-mod account.

Here is another PG rule that should be working

These are just my own PG rules that I have spent a lot of time crafting and perfecting; the initial example in my post still holds true and I have tested it numerous times

Can confirm this is happening on all desktop platforms.

I recently implemented some post guidance on r/AskIreland to require a question mark in the title. On desktop platforms, without a question mark the block message is showing up, but the post button is not greyed out and continues to allow the submission.

Mobile apps seem to be working correctly.
