I think this would be a noisy rule and we should close this @WilcoFiers

There is no instance where this rule can definitively determine that a violation exists.

Therefore I think this rule should be inverted. It should pass forms with a valid submit mechanism and it should pass forms that meet the implicit submission restrictions. In all other cases it should return a review item.
