Yeah, I thought extortion was against the forum rules. Maybe it still does, haven't really gotten that confirmed or denied by the moderators who look at PMs. It's like a list of 5 people that are different from sub forum mods or staff.

You mentioned them earlier:

There's actually 33 specific rules of the forum, you can read them in this subforum actually.

Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

The only ones that refer to illegal activity are:

8. No threats to inflict bodily harm, death threats.
11. No linking to illegal trading sites.
17. Trading of goods that are illegal in the seller's or buyer's country is forbidden.

and this why your problem is not a meta issue:

19. Possible (or real) scams and Trust ratings are not moderated (to prevent moderation abuse).

It does say it is up to the interpretation of any individual and the rules are not set in stone. I imagined illegal activity could be covered between 11 and 17. Maybe not, though. I know scams aren't moderated, but illegal activity is. Even if it's just goods.
