You don't need to have 'many years of experience' to write a creepypasta. Sure, it may take a few tries, but as EmpyrealInvective said, there are plenty of tools on the site for helping newbie writers hone their skills. I would say the biggest obstacle to get around isn't the actual writing itself, but the formatting of the wiki. It's old, and therefore, quite out of date and confusing, and it can seem intimidating to any new user looking to post a pasta.

In terms of the QS, well, I would much rather have the policies be a little on the stricter side, rather than adopting an 'anything goes' type of attitude. It helps weed out the bad pastas, especially now that Zelda, Pokémon, and Lost Episode pastas are banned (which, in my opinion, are all usually the worst, most lazily written pastas). Hell, I would even go so far to say that Ritual pastas should be cast away as well, but that's not my decision.
