I rate when I feel I can give a fair rating. When I was playing 4 games of standard flatrate, then giving fair ratings to 95% of opponents was doable. When playing 50+ games, and especially on some settings, it's difficult to get a feel for the playing of a majority of those one meets. Some games are over before they begin, others are stack and wait, some are a little too foggy for assessment, and somtimes larger teamgames are also very difficult in regard to rating.
Long story short, I continue to rate whenever I feel I have got an adequate picture of my opponents playing. Changing circumstances have seen me go from rating 95% of my opponents to 15-20%, but in the name of fair ratings, so be it.
