If a user wants to know why their story was removed, they can always ask the admin who removed it.

It's difficult enough for admins to delete several poor stories a day - often within minutes of each other - and their work would only be all the more frustrating if they had to write an explanation for why they did it. It's also totally unnecessary, as we have Quality Standards and a TOS that specifically lists what isn't allowed on here.

Inexperienced writers should put their stories on the Writer's Workshop before posting them as articles, so they can get the feedback needed - that's in fact what the whole WW forum is about.

Giving the author 48 hours to correct the mistakes he/she should have corrected before posting the story makes little sense. It also means that admins have to jot down the names of pastas and set their timers rather than just delete them straight away.

Finally, writers who post something on here just need to cope with the fact that Creepypasta isn't like their mom's refrigerator, where everything can be put on display regardless of quality.
