in that case, alot of titled players on this website like to breach chess etiquette while playing me 
is it wrong to tell someone to resign when their down over 10 points?
Sort:
It's the opponent's decision whether they want to resign or not. Even when someone is 10 points down, there's a chance their opponent might blunder and they could end up winning or in a draw.
One can care or not, but it is plain rude.

i love won positions & simply look at them as 'efficient technique' challenges. 😀
you can say whatever you want lol
It’s not against the rules… but why don’t you just checkmate them if you’re so good?
i just played a game and my opponent made me wait over 8 minutes for his time to run out!!!

If you're cocky I guess saying that might be normal but they said the faster you run the faster you fall. So ye

Even suggesting it would be a breach of chess etiquette.
In the context of an officially rated FIDE tournament, it could be construed as a breach of the rules, not just etiquette.
But what about eye-rolling? Is that acceptable?
Once I think I was up 10 points and still got checkmated. (Back rank mate) Yes, it was probably because it was my second game and I’m a horrible player, but my point is that random things happen. They might have a plan to win (maybe?) They also might not like to resign and instead finish out their games. (Just a thought)

Yeah, it's rude. You might blunder and I will swoop on you like a missile if you do.
