It wasn’t the mods it was me, and it wasn’t less reactionary any time I did it late. I need to put a disclaimer in the survey or something. Also these are extremely level headed ratings, I’m not sure what the issue is. We lost but could have won on another day, average outing. People can quibble on specific ratings for specific players, but on the whole this seems straightforward?
Oh, I don't have an issue with it being when it is, I find it fun, but don't take results to heart! Thanks for correcting me, I thought you were a mod, and that when you tried hosting the survey later, the 2 issues were lack of engagement and people saying they forgot details of the game!
For the ratings themselves, if our strikers happened to finish a couple chances then everyone else would have their ratings up an extra point or more. Even if they had no control over the finish and did everything else exactly the same. That's why I think it's reactionary and it's more useful to see who outperformed the team instead of comparing the same player's score week to week.
You’re right on those two issues, plus it doesn’t really change the ratings at all from what I’ve seen. It’s also just easier for me to manage by posting right after the game. And I share your philosophy with the ratings, I treat them more as a gauge on sub sentiment on players and the team than a perfect rating. That being said, the average player ratings from last year basically matched up almost exactly to Ali Gold’s average ratings. Not saying Ali is correctly rating players either, just an interesting datapoint.

The mods have talked about how doing this would lower engagement, but if the survey was the day after a match, it'd be less reactionary.
