Can't select thumbs up or down in discobot's poll example

Contribute Bug
5

This took me a while to figure out @tgxworld - it looks like validations are skipped for discobot’s replies, and the validations are what builds the post JSON.

My question is: is skip_validations necessary for every discobot reply? If we enabled validations for the poll reply it would work. Is there any downside to that?

Otherwise the following patch works, but you see a flash as the post gets saved a second time:
