It sounds like you’re seeing the same issue as here. Can you try following this workaround on the category you are trying to post in:

> Hi @Akki9326, it looks like we have a bug here. To work around it for now, open up the preferences for the category, and set the “Minimum number of tags required in a topic” setting to zero. We will look at getting this fixed so it can’t happen in the future.

I will look at fixing this properly next week, as it should not be possible for it to break like this.
