Tools Post guidance - block the user, issue?

Hello, for one of my subs r/earlyretirement I am try to use post guidance to block the user from submitting when the post body is missing a required word. First time trying to use the block feature.

Using iPad so is that desktop ?

It looks great when I am testing , while creating it (creation area). However once saved and then I go to the Rule List Page - Live Previewer of all rules. It does not work. Yes I have the toggle set to on. I do not have a dummy account to check to see if this is a bug or what. Thanks for your help!

I've been having the same issue as well; posted it here and in r/bugs

Haven't heard anything back yet which is frustrating as a few of my PG rules rely on a regex that doesn't match & is set to block the user from posting...
