Briefly because I'm at a client site and can't chat as much as I'd like.

I definitely and without a doubt agree that you do not do that specific thing
(whatever you or I call it) here and if anyone is thinking that I am implying
that you do, they would be incorrect. (except inasmuch as you do sort
of "delete" posts by people who have had their posting privs revoked... the
post is deleted by automatic mechanisms (that you, as "editor" have put in
place and administer) in that the server rejects it prior to it being
submitted and posted)

Very briefly and subject to amplification later, the legal meaning of
editorial control is much broader than your definition. It is the act of
exerting influence over what sorts of things appear on a site. The mechanism
by which control is exerted is irrelevant. (to the definition of the term. It
matters a lot to us as recepients of that control, and I like your selected
mechanism...)
