This is bad and should be stopped.

I think this was in the FWW once.

Yes, it should be stopped.

Indeed, this was suggested, and was rejected:

This feature was rejected 8/12/2012: If the sneak preview is turned on, anyone can get to your unpublished storygame by manipulating the url of another storygame. The simple way around this is to a) not include any end-game links b) turn sneak preview off (and if you have playtesters, add them as co-authors) and c) report any ratings that your unpublished storygame gets to JJJ.

Viewing them and rating them are not the same thing.

Also disagree slightly, in that a published game should still allow for rating, even after being unpublished. If you are ready to publish, then you are ready for the crucible's fire as it were.

While a never before published game should not be ratable, as it is a jackass thing to do to someone just because they allowed sneak peek.

Yeah viewing != rating.

Absolutely. But the original request that was rejected was, "it possible to make the sneak preview in such a way that people can read the story/game you are making, but cannot rate or comment?"

I think the simple solution is that the author who does not want a gate rated simply does not include End Game links.

A chore to do if you ask me.
