This (semantic) point may be resolved in the minds of a number of the "partcipants" - - but seems to me that there is a noun: censor, which may indeed be an "official" (at least historically), and in a broad sense of the word, presently... and there is a verb: censor, which a lot of different people (not necessarily official) can do - - if I am carrying a picket or placard, and someone (doesn't matter who) knocks it out of my hands, I am "censored" by that person.
The fairly simple analogy is judge: as a noun, an official - - and as a verb, practiced by many - - and virtually the "official sport" of this forum!
