There needs to be a limit on how many times you can check someone in a game and how many times you can consecutively check someone.

25 checks by one person and 10 checks in a row is excessive
If the best continuation is to continue checking, then that's the best and should be played. It's also possible the player doesn't see anything better, do it then, that's the best continuation of hey can't see a forced win.
If you don't like that, you should make sure your king has adequate protection or a place to hide behind pieces/pawns

Almost any game you play there is a rule when you are over doing something. It has to be after the 6 th consecutive check; it’s illegal. I am unsure if this has ever been an issue in chess history since they were all playing in-person. When you playing online, you feel safe and you think you can get away with it

That's not a chess rule. Continual (perpetual) checks are a valid choice and will often result in a draw either by triple repetition of position or 50 moves without a capture or pawn move.
The exact same thing happens OTB and in official tournament conditions.

Repeatedly checking the opponent is part of chess and is completely accepted.
Threatening violence however is against the rules. On chess.com as well as in real chess.
If only there was a moderator here... oh wait.

if your opponent is repeatedly checking your king and making a draw, its your mistake that you kept the king unprotected. this shouldn't be a chess rule because perpetual check is a way by which we can save a game from a completely losing position and making perpetual check illegal would be just too much.

I understand it’s allowed, I’m proposing for the excessive perpetual checking to stop. I get perpetually checked often, and most of the time it’s ok. Some times it gets out of hand. There needs to be a limit.

FIDE isn't going to change fundamental chess rules just because some guy doesn't like something.

There’s this thing called the 50 move rule. Perpetual check is a draw, by 50 move or by 3fold repitition.

After the 6th consecutive check if you couldn’t checkmate by then, you need to let the other person make a move without being checked.

Since online isn't in person, a claim of what a member might theoretically do OTB isn't something that's going to be moderated 🤔

Players won't be forced to make non-optimal moves or deviate if they don't see a more optimal continuation.
That's never going to change.

Why should the other person be punished for you being unable to avoid perpetual check?
