I think I lean toward #2 personally. #1 has the potential to be discouraging and personal. GM's volunteer their time, so if a GM is new and trying it out, the last thing he would need is to get some flame ratings permanently attached to his profile for what might be a rocky first game.
Rating the game on the other hand is a bit more disconnected, and then you could have a "games list by most enjoyed game" sort of thing. This would allow GMs to possibly have a bad game, but then on the next game get better and have some really great games.
The drawback to #2 is it would open up the door for GMs to lobby their players to give them great ratings so that they could top this or that chart.
As we're working on a new message board system to ditch this clunky phpbb stuff, features like this could be tied in nicely w the site going forward... so if you have ideas bring'em up!

Hey everyone,
I was just thinking about some additional features that could be added to the site. Just wanted to see what people thought of these.
1) I think it would be cool to have a "rate your GM" or some kind of survey thing after a game is finished where people can give feedback to their GM and the site on ways the GM can make the game run better, and then keep track of each GM's scores or something to see who the best GMs are.
2) another survey, "rate your game experience" I think this would be helpful so the moderators and GMs can see how new players or veterans are enjoying their game experiences. They can write how much negotiating went on, or whatever they want.
Again, I just think these would be good additions to the site to give people more feedback on how games are running. Thanks.
