The mods. Just like they currently decide who gets suspended, or banned.

CP isn't the government. It's not a freedom of speech argument, it's an argument about what kind of content a private discussion site does and does not want to encourage. It's like arguing you have the right to come over to my house, give me a Watchtower pamphlet, and then sit in my living room discussing how I'm going to burn with Satan for as long as you feel appropriate. My kicking you out is not an attack on free speech, and neither is any other limitation of your "right" to speak in or on someone else's private property.

Right now you can't swear on CP. You can't post scantily clad pictures of women. You can't personally insult other posters. There are rules, and if you don't abide by them, there are consequences. This would be no different. In any event, the point is moot because the mods can't limit posts, so it's just a wistful dream.

Anyway, enough of the off-topic for me. Although it's still infinitely better than more incoherent, disingenuous "Shrillary" talk.
