Rather than after a game, I'd prefer this after, say, a week or month or so after gameplay. I have yet to finish a game, but there are people I'd love to give feedback (both positive and negative) about.
I don't think that suspension is necessary, though; eventually, Storium will become a semi-paid service, and on one hand, no one should have to be suspended if they're paying money (I believe it will be a monthly fee?). On the reverse, no one should have to feel they have to pay money to avoid the banhammer. I already face that on several other sites.
Instead of a suspension, I think it would be best for these percents to be displayed next to their name in the "looking for players" or "existing characters" / "characters applied to join" screens. If you're looking for a game and you see your narrator has less that 50%, you know to look at their page and see why their approval is so low. (Or, go into their old games and see for yourself why it might be low, if feedback is made private.) If you see someone submit a character who has less than 50%, maybe look at their feedback (or prior games, as mentioned,) and see how they play. Maybe send them a message, see what they're going to change about their play style to raise their rating in your game. And accept or reject them based on that conversation. If you're applying to join a game with a character written by someone with low approval, you know to move forward with caution.
Of course, this might lead to more problems; games created just to get people off probation, narrators rejecting characters outright because of approval ratings (I can just SEE the game intros stating "only approval of 80% or more will be accepted" or things of the like,) etc. So it isn't fool proof, but a suspension mechanic won't fit well with Storium as a whole, in my opinion.

Amending my past comment; I believe all feedback on players would need to be run through some kind of moderation, to prevent the kind of abuse that Robert mentioned. Valid reasons must be given for both positive and negative feedback (i.e., is very active, is not literate, communicates well, does not attempt to drive plot, consistently has Main Character Syndrome, etc.) Players should also be able to dispute these claims should they like, and these disputes would also need moderation.
Of course, this will require more dedicated funds for moderators, unless Storium decides to have a "volunteer mod" system, where Admims would need to approve their applications, and mods would not be able to review feedback/disputes on players they are currently in a game with. Either way, it would mean a lot of consideration and implementation on the Storium team's side of things, so if they did choose this route, I wouldn't expect to see it until we were almost out of Gamma.
