Moving automatically declines draw offers.

IMHO the site should block further draw offers from one side after a draw offer has been declined. From then it is up to the declining side to offer a draw if the declining side has changed its opinion. That is also the etiquette over the board.
Sheesh, I bet it would feel like hell being spammed the draw button every second.
Did you accept the offer tho?

I thought there was a button were you could block draws for the game maybe that was on another sight though.
I had an opponent spam 5 or 6 draw offers within the span of a minute, when I was in a completely winning position. Just plain abusive behaviour to distract the opponent's focus & bully them into accepting the draw.
I think chess.com should put in place two new rules:
1. The draw offer button, if an offer is sent & declined, should be disabled for at least 30 seconds before another offer can be sent.
2. It should not be possible to send more than N draw offers per game, where N can be a reasonable number like 3 or 4, or perhaps N can be proportional to the time control.
