[Feature Request] Limit Rematch offers

You want to limit rematch offers? Leave the game's page. Done. No more rematch offers.

That's a pretty clear message to your opponent.
@Pashut If you don't want rematch offers, you probably shouldn't:

1) Write "too slow" after you win (on time). Might make the opponent want a rematch. Also probably makes the opponent care less if he/she bothers you with several rematch requests.

2) Don't hang out in the game page after you have written said comment.
@Sjakktrekk

LOL, you clearly missed the idea of my initial post.

I never said I "don't want rematch offers".

I said that I consider REPEATED rematch offers an abuse of an existing feature.
Every feature in Lichess has some rate limit to prevent abuse.
@Toadofsky -- Does this one have also or is it the exception? If yes, what is the magic number here?
Usually people that don't want to rematch simply leave the game area. They go to the analysis board if they want to analyse the game, or they simply seek a new opponent.. You are getting more rematches requests because since you are still in the game area people assume you might still want to play. Sometimes I would refuse the first rematch because I'm drinking water, for instance, but then the opponent offers again and I accept it.
