I am playing a game right now and my opponent (Dacus) is only making me move back and forth... I believe we are at 12 times now. How do I stop this without surrendering? Can you delete a game for me.. Please. he has upset me so I don't want to resign.
if you are going to get upset over that, you might as well stop playing chess.. its part of the game.

Being forced to keep making that same move is a GREAT chess tactic. You may have had a lead, but this user wants to force a draw. If he's forcing YOU to do the same thing over and over, he's got every right... and there is no need to 'delete' the game.
It's a very important part of chess, and if you didn't know it... you might want to use it next time you are behind in a game.
No game is won until you actually win it. If you are ahead and the other guy forces a draw... that is a good thing.

(This as opposed to real errors such as overlooking an illegal move, which does have repercussions if discovered at a later stage.)
3rd position repetition rule says draw.

I rephrase:
3rd position repetition rule says draw if it's immediately claimed.
