I understand what you mean, but the phrasing of "forcing" someone to optionally do something is odd.

A pop up is forcing users to acknowledge rating the app. It’s not truly optional when you get spammed once a day to submit a rating. So you get angry people submitting unhelpful ratings because they don’t understand the UX
