Explanation
When submitting a post with nothing in the body, we get this error:
But according to this page (formatting stripped):
HTML tags that do not appear on this list will be stripped out and not displayed if they are included in posts or comments. The source code for supported tags in posts can be found in posts_helper.rb, and for comments in comments_helper.rb.
So one can just enter something like this:
...to make the invalid tags get stripped out and leave the question with an empty body.
Edit: It appears to work even with supported tags, for example, <b></b>
Such useless posts can be flagged instead for speedy deletion
If such kinds of posts don't exist in the first place then the moderator workload can become lesser.
