> Didn’t moderation of posts in Usenet allow moderators to insert notes in approved messages?
Yes. Moderators can edit everything about the message; whether and how they do so is up to them. Moderated groups tended to have extensive charter documents stating what was up to mods' judgement and what they had to do.
Disemvowellment as a half-way between discarding a post and letting it through started on Making Light.
I'm not sure where shadowbanning started. (A shadowbanned poster is the only one who can see their own posts/comments.)
