I like loosing games then analysing where I went wrong.

At most, the delay would just be a few minutes. Fill out the report form well, I've noticed that people I report with full details get banned faster than people who I casually report. This is true for policy abusers in general.

I had this today. A relatively new player lost his queen early on against me and then repeatedly offered a draw on every move, eventually running down his clock from 10 minutes to near zero. Needless to say, he got reported and blocked.

This person
Was stalling me and he was taking 10 minutes to move at the endgame and there was only 1 move for him

I wonder how many new people do not know how to resign, or that resigning is even a thing!
Well he certainly knew where the "offer draw" button was.
I am quite new and not always able to see a loss, so sometimes I will try things that wont work, in some vain hope. However seeing that this can annoy people.... what would be best practice? (obviously learn and practice, but I would like to avoid annoying people)

The best practice is to never resign, until you learn when to resign. It is perfectly okay to make your opponent prove checkmate. Learn to play through losing endgames, looking to capitalize on your opponents errors. Best case, you win! Worst case, you lose. Even a draw is preferable to a loss. Nobody has ever converted a resignation into a win.
That is a really nice and informative answer, thankyou. Ill keep going and bear this in mind!
