If one could still review, or make suggestions, when abandoning a quest... I've been forced to drop like 16 foundry quests due to bugs and I would like to tell the makers that there are problems!
and the standard mail doesn't work cause most of the time I mail the authors and their inboxes are full!
I thought it would be kinda cool if the message box that pops up when you drop a quest has an option to answer WHY you're dropping the quest!
Just a thought, I do realize there are WAY more important things on the Devs list, but thought it might be worth mentioning!

Inform, yes.
A review stays on the journal page. This could very well drive people away from playing the quest even after it is fixed.
In addition, sometimes bugs are one-off, such as the bug which may occur if you are in a party, where one or more of the party members cannot interact with the chest unless the party is disbanded.
Many foundry limitations/bugs, which are out of the authors' hands, are frequently mistaken for authors' mistakes by non-authors.
There will also be bound to be abuse by trolls if they can review it just by abandoning it.
I agree with the ability to message or inform the author directly though. That should definitely be implemented.
Furthermore, another suggestion that authors have asked for is the ability to respond and clarify issues written within reviews. For instance, issue like "No loot" or "Loot sucks" because we need to educate the non-authors that we don't control loot and the fact that they should read the quest journal text.
By the way, OP, a way to avoid uncompletable foundries is before you accept the foundry, check the "last review's date" and then the "last edited date".
If the "last review's date" is later than the "last edited date", the quest is 100% completable because someone completed it and left a review.
If the "last review's date" is earlier than the "last edited date" and if there are many plays before that, it is possible that the last edit done by the author broke the quest but not likely. It may be a one-off bug.
If the "last review's date" is earlier than the "last edited date" and if there are not many plays before that or if the author is new (don't have other quest, simple map designs .etc), it is very likely the last edit broke the quest. However, it may also be a one-off bug.
