Yes, I for one try to never go to AN/I if I can help it. :) You're only a "constable" if you want to be.
I'd consider most deletion to be more constable-like than janitor-like. It's not like janitors are the only people allowed to use a mop. Park ranger, maybe. What was Winston Smith's position called?
After reading the new crap for a while, I would say speedy is more mop like than janitor-like.
Maybe if the speedy deletion criteria were really narrow. But if the janitor at my work started throwing out papers from our office files which were obvious copyright violations, or ones which didn't explain why they were important, s/he'd lose eir job real quick.
Park rangers? It depends upon the park.
It's not a particularly good analogy, and I'm not sure there is one. I was trying to think of someone whose job involves executing vague rules on how to restrict access to a shared resource.
Maybe copyright compliance officer/office censor/middle manager? I dunno.
