Interesting.
I found the opposite. When I was trying to create a test sub about 4 days ago I was denied creation unless I entered sidebar text at that time.

EDIT: flairing as DISCUSSION for now, though Putt might decide this is undesirable behaviour and fix it as a bug.
So you are saying that it allows you to create the subverse if you leave the sidebar field blank? Could you post a screenshot? Or are you saying that, if you leave the sidebar text field empty and then try to edit the sidebar after the subverse is created, you receive an error?

Yes - entered this and clicked Submit and created ok. Then go to edit the subverse settings and get this.

imgoat is currently down so I can't check these images. Based on your description it seems you are saying that there is an issue with editing the sidebar of an existing subverse to be empty. I will check this.
EDIT: Yes, it seems editing a sidebar to be empty gives an error. Also this error is also present on real Voat, although I'm not sure if an empty sidebar is allowed when creating a sidebar.
