An indication for draw offers

I sometimes make draw offers up to 3 at a time, once or twice a month.

Sometimes they decline OFC, and it's hard to keep track. Some sort of indication would be appreciated.

Perhaps it could be as simple as inserting {draw offer: declined} into the PGN

Sorry, deja vu again.

ICCF already handles this topic.

A player can only offer one draw every ten moves in a game, unless their opponent offers a draw in return.

I have suggested this to Thibault previously and whilst he was receptive, it was not implemented.

This solution would stop repetitive draw offers, either intentional or accidental (and accidental can happen with no equal sign applied to a draw offer in the notation) and also everyone would know when they last offered a draw in each game.

I do appreciate your responses Garvin as I'm not as experienced on the site, more "on and off", and mostly off, at that ;)
