Implementing the full offline rules for claims online is impractical for several reasons, chief among them the lack of a TD in most cases.

Sure, and some people bid 7NTxx on random hands just for the heck of it. The solution is the same in either case.

yes that is an annoyance, i remember once holding the ace of trumps, and refusing declarer's claim twice, my partner obliged him.
i mentioned this recently, and on previous occasions here, but bbo wants it to remain that way. some bromide about bridge being a partnership game.

My experience is that in the vast majority of cases nobody looks closely.
In my opinion reporting to abuse doesn't do any good, since declarer isn't abusing anyone - and the hands cant be adjusted anyway.

Instead of repeatedly refusing the claim, make a counter-claim of the trick you're guaranteed to win. Do this before partner has a chance to concede it.

both cases we were able to get the board adjusted. maybe just friendly directors.

Or maybe not. It would be difficult to protect players against silly concessions like conceeding all tricks when holding trump king guarded behind dummy's ace. So maybe it would just give a false sense of security.
BTW sometimes one of the defenders has left without signing out and then the only way to get a score for the board is for the other defender to concede (or accept declarer's claim).
