I just played with someone who spent the last 10mn of the game doing random moves not to repeat positions in draw endgame to win on the clock.

Unless I missed something in the last years I didn't play chess, this is clearly abuse, no? Shoudln't these players get banned or something?
And i'm not talking about someone who did this in the last 30s I had to play (which is also a disgusting behaviour but let's not discuss this). I had 7 full minutes remaining when we reached the rook endgame.
And please, if this kind of behaviour is encouraged (read if nothing is done about this) be sure i'll go play elsewhere. I'm not playing chess to play for hours in draw positions, so I won't play on a site who encourages this behaviour.
I find it shocking that so many chess player, dont even know the rules of the game.
@OP: Your negligence in invoking the threefold repetition rule multiple times does nothing to foster sympathy for your tribulation.
Your opponent was well within his rights to decline your draw offers. He was trying to win.
Competition has no ego. It is objective, mindless, cold. These notions are not absurdity; they are fact.
When you are ready to release your bitterness, you may again enjoy fun games of Chess on this site. I hope that you will not still insist on holding Chess.com responsible for your loss, for that would be absurdity.
