There is a use case for that also.
 
Let's say you moderate an FTN echo.  You have a user, let's call tehm 
Bee Felfaso, who posts off-topic messages that include references to
human genetalia, bodily fluids, excrement, and other things.  You as
the moderator ask Bee to quit posting such nonsense in your echo. 
Bee responds that it is "freedom of speech" and that, since it is an
FTN echo, you cannot moderate them.
 
The Synchronet twitlist may not prevent their filth from
proliferating to all other BBSes, but it will keep it off of your
board and off of any board that gets their feed from you.
 
So, you can at least partially moderate them.  :)
