Can we have such a setting in journal management systems: if more than 30 decline to review, the system automatically notifies corresponding author to explain the situation AND explicitly says that the manuscript will be declined UNLESS the corresponding author clicks a button to continue to wait.

I was registered by the editor as a reviewer (not blaming the editor, as I'm in the same boat), but I need to log in with the credential to decline the invitation...of course, the credential did not work, as it is a "new account" that is not linked with my original ORCID...such a crappy system
