It depends on the position.
If you have a huge advantage, then why would you force a draw by perpetual check? In other words, you are accepting a draw when you would likely win.
If you are in a worse position, then forcing a draw is good.
Some people have a moral problem with draw by repetition or draw by perpetual check but I don't think this is something you'll encounter at the higher levels.
More than likely it's just forcing a draw. It's actually called "perpetual check" or even "draw by repetition". With perpetual check one side can force a draw if the other side can't prevent the continual checks. With draw by repetition one side can claim a draw if all pieces are in the exact same position three times with the same side having the move.

i'm fairly new to this game and was wondering if forcing check over and over doing the same thing, back and forth, is that kosher? or are you generally thought of as a prick for that??
or is that's what referred to as "forcing a draw?"
