Never Declined Revanche ! lets start an elite group of players

I am so frustrated by the decliners of revanche. Let our 'Revered Developers' add a positive flag to players that accept more than 83 percent of revanche offers - and then include that flag into the filter options. Or as an alternative or additonal: flag those who reject more than two in three revanche offers. So I can ignore them bad Mannores! (Never mind that I know that rude behaviour helped a few GMs to their championate)
I agree with you if we are talking about one rematch (you play one game and the rematch). But lichess can't implement the system you are suggesting because it would be terribly flawed.

e.g What happens when someone asks you again and again for rematchs after losing several games against you, according to your system the player who in this case rejects the rematch would have his percentage of acceptance lowered, and that would be just unfair.

Plus I think I have read somewhere that even one of the developers of lichess doesn't always feel like accepting a rematch.
I don't think anyone is obligated to rematch. Some people have other things to do and may have only had time for one game.
@okgo: Thanks for the interesting info. But my nervous system says to me when it saw the video: Don't even try it!
@l33t: Much reason in your answer! I must admit, it should make things rather flawed. - Maybe people who recline should at least say sorry.
Who can guarantee you would have won if the opponent didnt cheat? Come on... After some games its statistically expected that you will regain the points.
