This videos explains it
"How is your day going?"
--- I'm offended that you would have to ask.

I've had customers call in with that same reasoning, refusing to answer any of my discovery questions and saying I should have been able to figure out why they are calling or that a question was not needed.

No, you are wrong. I am not frustrated, that he didn't want a rematch, If he had just said no, I would have continued playing.
You guys probably don't encounter these people, because you are conveying members.Â
I HAVE been mailing them, but they have never replied.Â
Just because you can't seem to understand, why someone would actually offer a draw like this, doesn't mean that it's meaningless.Â
I can tell you why I would think a offering a draw, because that's the only way to make a rematch in a live game, where no one loses any points. Someone onced offered me a draw like this, and ever since then I sometimes to the same to people, who seem to be nice, just before I win. Because you have never seen a draw offering being used like this, that's why you're unable to think of it. It's a really nice gesture, if someone accepts it for this purpose.Â
Make a new account and play again without your preferred membership and see what opponents you will mostly get.Â
Tell me, what else can I do than complaining here, if chess.com never replies?Â
I could get a better membership like you, then surely they will listen.Â
But no, thanks.Â
I have played for 2 months without a membership, and during that time, I remember playing a significant amount of games during this unpaid period playing the same kind of players. One thing for sure, chess.com does not change the players you get. I play against paid and unpaid accounts in live. And in team matches, it is COMPLETELY based on your rating. In tournaments, all people play against all people. It is impossible for me to play against different kinds of people in team matches, slow chess games, and correspondence tournaments, and their would be no reason chess.com would do it in live chess.
Also, I can't make a new account. That's against Chess.com rules.
I am not too sure whether the time of response by Chess.com staff changes of not, I remember it clearly stating that all messages will likely be responded to within 1-3 business days, regardless of premium status.

You are getting some good advice here Monton15. Try to accept it. The reality of life on the internet is that not everyone is going to behave as you would like them to. The best way to play chess on the internet is to resign or play on in the hope of a come back if you make a mistake. Don't try and plead and reason with your opponent - nobody likes or respects that. It's only a game the worse thing that can happen is you lose a few rating points. Occasionally I have been in positions where my opponent has made an obvious horrible mouse-slip (not a normal chess blunder) and then immediately made a draw offer. I think every time I have accepted the offer, recognising that injustice of a mouse slip and being a nice person. But I am not obligated to do this and it is completely normal and reasonable to just play on and take full advantage of both mouse slips and other types of blunders.
True. It's only a game. He has acted a little rudely, but you have no right to react as you do. I get mad at people all the time, but I suppress it, cause it's pointless to get mad at someone. Suppressing my anger has gotten me to be able to be more tolerant of other people, as well as less angry to begin with. You are doing the opposite, making a big deal out a little thing, to the point that you start mailing the person (how did you even get the person's address???)

Hello.Â
In my Last game, I obviously made a mistake in my 6th move by not paying attention at all to the game and lost my queen. I told him, what distracted me, and he replied with " cool 😎 " . Then I asked him, if we could re-play this game, but instead of answering me, he ignored me completely. Instead, he rejected a draw and kept playing, when I made a move.Â
I absolutely hate this kind of respectless players here on chess.com , but sadly they are obviousl the majority here, and you are doing nothing against them. All you do is make it easier for them. there is no report button, we can't even call an Admin here to help. There will be no consequences at all for those scums. You are doing the same as them, ignoring this completely. I have mentioned this problem before, but nothing had changed. I'm honestly thinking of deleting my Account if you keep ignoring this Problem. I know you higher ups don't care about honor, respect and politeness, but I'm begging you to do so. Chess doesn't deserve to have such scums as the majority. Please do something.Â

If I changed your rating with the tap of a keyboard to +400 or -400 from what it is now, and your playing strength stays the same, your rating would be back to where it is now in less than 20 games. The way the system adds or subtracts points and matches people is highly self correcting.
