The error that is [mentioned here](https://github.com/reddit/reddit/blob/master/r2/r2/controllers/api.py#L288) is not reflected at all when making requests via api_type:json. In fact, when this error should occur, the resulting json is simply an empty error list which gives the false impression that the submission was successful. I have the suspicion that the _verified_quota_msg_ error has the same problem, however, I cannot confirm that.

The only way I was able to trigger this error, was to submit via an account that did __not__ have a verified email to a community the user was __not__ an approved submitter for. After waiting for a number periods of 9 minutes to bypass the "you are doing that too much" I finally received a response with an empty error set, yet the submission was never made.
