Hi CCC members,
Dear Mr. Vidanovich,

With regard to your posting I have to say something too.

It is not my place to give any public comments to this matter
(why you were degraded to a pawn status). I do not have full
access to all data, as a master-admin has, so I have to ask
other SysOp colleagues.

It was never my intention to give you Mr. Vidanovic the
feeling that you’re a dunce in my eyes. I’m not that informed
who is who in computer-chess world and your name was first
introduced to me on Saturday (not Friday as you wrote in
your posting).

I would like to mention that Mr. Vidanovic was all the time
polite to me regardless the misfortune that happened to him.

On Playchess.com I’m often logged in for 24 hours with
different nicknames (MagicLieske, Ultimate Fighter and
Holger_Lieske) but of course I’m not all the time at the
computer. It may take some time until I get a message and
reply (this is noted in my personal notes).

I gave Mr. Vidanovic the usual advice on how he could get
a higher rank (completing personal info and relogin). After
this procedure had failed I asked a SysOp colleague.
Of course an answer may take some time and I told it to
Mr. Vidanovic. In that time of waiting, I’ve asked Mr.
Vidanovic, whether it is possible that his chat behaviour
could have been the reason for his degration to Pawn rank.
He said no.

In the meantime I have received six server-mails and some
requests by him, he was a bit impatient, which is understandable.

Again it was never my intention to accuse you of anything,
to let you wait more time than needed, or to show disrespect.
