OK, here's my idea: Publish a game as a draft, and a few, randomly selected users would get a special opprotunity to test it when it's still in development. The game editing page could have a tab to view comments for the draft. If this was used, fewer games would be published with spelling errors, and dead links could be fixed beforehand.

This could be put in with the mod updates going to happen sooner or later.

This is not a bad idea. Solostrike requested something similar.

However a solution that would require less programming would be to share the URL with others on the forum. In the future we can add a checkbox that will allow or dissalow others from playing an unpublished storygame. Currently, anyone can read it regardless of whether you published it or not (if they know the URL).

How about something like a Mod when they test the game, if they see a spelling mistake in a game (or in any game for that matter) they are aloud to make a tiny correction like that.  There should be a way to revert the changes if something happens to it by a person who hacked into it.  Some rules for things like that are:

* Trade the vowels in a curse work with a * symbol. Example:  Ass to *ss
* Fix spelling mistakes like fre to free
* Correct Punctuation

There can not be a completly new page shown though.  Mods can't mess with links.
Would that be a solution?
