Can anyone else reproduce?

As a normal user, there is an edit button on posts where a user is assigned to an appeal topic on dark gaming forum. Clicking it opens an editor window.

But, submitting the edit gives an error.

The solution could be to hide the edit button for normal users.  
A possible solution could be to add this filter to ublock origin lite:

This bandaid solution would allow the edit button to be hidden on discourse assign messages when a post is assigned to someone as a normal user when you’re not meant to edit
