Why does it matter who it was? That's beside the point here.

Um, really?

Let's focus on the salient part:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That is literal blackmail, no matter how much Inks tries to dodge the point.

For reference, the timeline as it stands:

1. Libertas petitions to be unbanned and the moderators discuss this.

2. Snowstalker finds out that the moderators are discussing unbanning Libertas and makes a thread about it on the forum.

3. Inks becomes convinced that Snowstalker found this information out as a result of a "leak" from the mod board and demands that the moderator responsible for this "leak" confess.

4. Still looking for the source of the "leak", Inks decides that he should look through chat logs to uncover the guilty moderator.

5. Inks makes up an "Arkansas IP address" and blackmails Simfan into giving him chat logs.

6. Simfan sends chat logs to Inks, after which Inks triumphantly posts those logs on the mod board as evidence of the "leak".

I'll admit it was foolish of me to PM Simfan. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and an attempt to clarify everything before I brought it up to the mods, because with all the leaks, I didn't want Simfan getting dragged through everything Einzige has. I genuinely like Simfan, and I am glad he was allowed to return... perhaps that biased me. it probably did... I'll admit that. but then he started getting more and more secretive, and it's disappointing. After he told me what happened, I was able to verify that my initial theory was wrong, but now we're left with everyone standing and pointing their guns at each other in a manner like the end of the murder mystery episode of The Office... where everyone just shoots everyone and dies.

Literally none of this explains or justifies lying about moderator information to receive access to private chat logs.

Doesn't a blackmailee by definition need something to have helld against them, which in this case appears missing?

No.

[Хahar 🤔]

How is "you're lucky I didn't actually take the threat seriously enough to contact authorities" more of a threat than "Inks should be shot"?

Because one of those things involves something that could actually happen and the others are not. This is not a difficult concept.

[Хahar 🤔]

Inks certainly does love his ad hominem attacks. Note that this has literally no relevance to his inappropriate conduct as moderator.

Was Inks just demodded?

That would appear to be the case, yes.
