Comment submits even if rating is pending for game jam submission

Greetings! I noticed an issue on game jam rating pages where if you have not yet submitted your rating for a jam submission and try to submit a comment, a warning appears from the browser indicating that there are unsaved changes and the comment doesn't appear to submit if you click "stay on page". However, the comment is submitted behind the scenes, and if you submit your rating for a submission and post your comment again, there will be two copies of your comment (or more depending on how many times you attempted to post it).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Submit a game to a game jam
  2. Rate another jam submission, but do not submit the rating
  3. Write a comment and attempt to post it
  4. Click "stay on page" when the browser warns you of unsaved changes
  5. Submit your rating and post your comment

There will now be two copies of the comment posted.
