StackOverflow Exception from subbmitting a simple form MVC ASP.Net Website

Question

I'm trying to submit a simple form for my ASP.NET MVC website, but I keep getting a StackOverFlow Exception. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong; it should be a pretty straightforward process... Here is the form code:

<form action="/Home/SubmitAnnouncements" method="post">
    <textarea name="announcementcode" style="width:100%; height:800px">@Model.RawAnnouncementCode</textarea>
    <div id="find_account" class="two columns"><input id="find_account_btn" class="link_button" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit New Announcements" /></div>
</form>

And here is the Controller code for the action:

[HttpPost, ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult SubmitAnnouncements(string announcementcode)
{
    SubmitAnnouncements(announcementcode);
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

This problem stated when I added [HttpPst, ValidateInput(false)], but I need to do that, because the user is submitting raw HTML code. Any ideas anyone?

I'm an idiot, I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot,I'm an idiot... it's supposed to be DatabaseCalls.SubmitAnnouncements()... Thanks...I'm an idiot... — Chris

The ValidateInput attribute didn't cause your error, you just never reached the point in your code that causes the StackOverflowException until it was added.

If you look at the first line of your action, you'll notice you're calling the same method.
