How much have things shifted?

This is what post game discussion is really for(at least I think so): constructive criticism. Automatically voting them is bad.

This only works if the players in question want to improve and actively seek to do so.

I can point to a number of newer players who are happy with what they bring to the game and don't see it as bad or detrimental to their teammates and thus ignore anything said on improving their play.

But a lot of the time transparency is useful, and of you get NKed you want people to know your thoughts.

This. So much this. Another thing I've noticed about the site meta is the tendancy for players to "keep things tight to the vest", subsequently die, and then in the Dead thread wax about how they had this player and that player nailed as scum. If you don't post it in the game thread the rest of Town can't use that knowledge to follow up on your suspicions if they choose to.
