Don't joke or people might think you are serious. If you are serious, then please don't keep doing this. Spamming draw offers is considered bad sportsmanship and you could be warned for spamming or violating fair play; worst case scenarios, you could even have your account banned. More likely, you'd just get placed in a separate player pool with other poor sports, but either way, don't rely on cheap tricks like this. If you try annoying the opponent with draw offers in a real over-the-board tournament, they can also penalize you in the game for similar reasons.

I would just block a person who did that. Maybe report them too if I was annoyed by it. Yes, if you repeatedly offer a draw in an otb game, an arbiter can award the game to your opponent, because it's a deliberate distraction, so it's cheating to continually offer a draw. I might report it to the arbiter but maybe first tell him not to offer me a draw again. Strictly speaking perhaps I shouldn't talk to the opponent but if an arbiter penalised someone for telling someone else once not to offer draws, the arbiter would be at fault.
I'd say you should do the opposite. Always report the guy, and blocking him or not should be the question.
If this really is that annoying then you guys should play bughouse (aka doubles). No good player ever resigns in bug, I've won games 2 queens down with my king in the middle of the board.
What do you think about them? What to do about them? When I am a Queen up and winning position my opponent DO NO RESIGN!
I've been on Chess.com since ~July and have only had one person send me a chat message telling me to resign. I did not see or understand that it was a lost position; my opponent did not share or explain how it was a lost position; they only typed "Resign!" or words to that effect.
So I played-on until they secured a checkmate.
If we resigned every time we felt lost or discouraged, then we would never be able to grow beyond those points in life or in the game of chess. If we resigned every time someone told us something was useless or that we were in a losing situation, we would be allowing others to dictate how we manage our lives.
When playing other higher ranked opponents and I feel myself stuck, lost, or in a losing situation... I will simply send that person a text message stating my thoughts, then I tell them that I'd like to continue playing for the learning experience. Without exception, every opponent has graciously allowed me to play until the bitter end, or until I realized that I was truly doomed.
We can chose to teach, learn, or berate others, and I thank those who are willing to teach by giving me the space to learn in these games.
There have been times where I've turned a game around from a completely losing position and all I can say is that it's their choice u can't force someone to resign
If someones position is lost and you are good you will convert it and converting positions to reach a checkmate is good practise, see it as an oppourtunity.
In bullet: I almost never resign / I try to win on time at lost positions or get checkmated / I just resign after I have a huge advantage and suddenly lose it and... :\
In blitz: I seldom resignand I usually continue and try to make my king lonely and do a stalemate trap, about 5 - 10% of them are successful. / I sometimes resign when I think starting a new game is better than countinuing a lost game. Tip: I mostly wait at least a few moves after I lost a piece, It has happened to me I blundered my queen and 2 or 3 moves later, my opponent also blundered their queen. And also reverse.
Daily: Already, one of my games is in a lost position with a lonely king and a locked pawn, but I am waiting 7 days - 7 days and try to make it as slowest as I can to win some games before I lose that game and If my opponent was not my friend, ... yes. I accept this one is my cruelty.
Rapid: I don't play rapid too much. Same as blitz
But some persons abandon the lost games and sometimes I have to wait a few minutes staring at the screen ti win... This is worse.

Exactly. I never blame opponents for not resigning.
If you need your opponent to resign after you're a queen up, maybe you have bigger issues with your game.
its considered good sportsmanship to resign, saving time, however you guys are still at 1400 ELO so, I am not concerned at all.
What do you think about them? What to do about them? When I am a Queen up and winning position my opponent DO NO RESIGN!
Frustrating...
never give up as ive won a game after losing queen and won by checkmate
