While having a group weigh in, it can also really muddle up a situation as some users' critiques can be pretty brusque. It's easier to approach it as a one-on-one so it isn't a matter of winning the crowd over or appealing to a group, but rather they've re-written their story.

I usually try to reference if someone else marked the story for review o deletion to let them know that I wasn't the only one who thought the story needed work. In the end, the onus falls on the author to really proof-read their story before posting or attempt to improve it before the appeal. Even with the deletion appeal header, we still get a lot of people asking why their story was deleted without really bothering to improve it.
