Actually, thinking more about this we actually used to have something that worked similarly. It was the "Needs Editing" tag/ category. Most of the Creepypastas that would be deleted in a heartbeat today would go to that category. Users then have 7 days to fix their Creppypasta before it is deleted. You can think of it as like a second chance.

In the end it didn't really work out, the problem is that most people that posts crappypasta could care less about fixing their pastas. Out of 100 pastas in the category only a couple was fixed by the person who posted the story.

The only difference between the current situation and the past is the time of deletion. I've noticed that most people post 1 pasta and then disappear forever. If their pasta is deleted a week later, they will never know and therefore they complain less. Now, the pasta gets deleted immediately. They take notice immediately and starts complaining.

If I recall correctly, in the past the majority of the pasta on the deletion appeal dealt with spin-off pasta as oppose to crappypasta.
