Excessive Draw Offers?

Hi, I'm playing a game and my opponent keeps offering draws. He's offered a draw 5 times in the first 15 moves. If I was in an OTB tournament, I'd get an arbiter to stop him disturbing me, but in online chess it's a bit different.

So what do you think is an acceptable level for offering draws in an online game?

Oh. by the way, I've played the same player before, with the same excessive draw offers, and in that game I told him to stop

Isn't it illegal to re-offer draw if you are the last person who offered it and got rejected during the same game?

You dont have to repsond, right? You can just make a move? I forget.

I dont think its illegal, but as a courtesy I would not offer a second time and wait for my opponent to do it instead.

Tell him that you want to play some more moves.

Keep saying "one more move" over and over again.

I agree with you, I find that sort of thing very annoying. If you are offered a draw once and the position in your opinion is not a drawn position and you want to play on and your opponent keeps annoying you with draw offers you should report that person to staff and see what they have to say. It is against the rules in chess to harrass your oponent and that is a form of harrassment. 

You don't have to keep saying anything, that would be excessively annoying anyway, whose side are you on? Reporting is also a very slow solution, you want to handle it within the same game. So either it should be illegal to offer a draw for the second time without the opponent offering you one first, or there should be a button to "Reject all draw offers" during the current game.

lmao

I like the idea of a button that shuts off draw offers! We have one 4 chat y not 1 4 draw offers?

Should be a maximum of 2 draw offers a game per person, and making a move without responding to the offer counts as declining the offer. The site should make is such that a player cannot offer more than a certain number (twice) in a game

What about idiots who refuse a draw in a completely dead position?

Shuffling kings around for 50 moves in a 3-day-per-move game is pathetically petty and is wasting their playing time out of sheer spite.

The only option you have is to continue shuffling pieces meaninglessly for days/weeks/months, or resigning - giving them an unfair win because of their draw trolling.

No, there should not be a draw block button or a limit on requests.
