TL;DR; I want to submit a PR for POST /post_actions to be more verbose to an API user in order to reduce time debugging. As of now it only returns a 403 when a user couldn’t act upon a post. Please read the rest of the post. Today I was working on integrating likes for topics via the Discourse API,…

1) doesn’t add any value over the 403. So, if you’re up for it, go for 2) :wink:

Path 2) is challenging… working on a PR :slight_smile:

Is there a compelling reason of why the validation of the PostGuardian#post_can_act? isn’t happening within the PostAction#act class method? /cc @zogstrip @eviltrout

We often enforce things at a higher level. In this case post actions should all be created through the PostActionCreator service object.
