Vigilante does not mean "out of control", but interpret it in any form you wish. There is no law on newbie hospitalizations, so a group formed (albeit under zens authority **) to dish out their own form of justice. However NEWBIESHIELD is not an official part of the game. Sounds pretty vigilante to me.

** I gave them a forum to talk in. What they do with this forum they do on their own accord. I don't even read their forum.

Here is some easy to find information on the word "vigilante"

Etymology: The term vigilante is Spanish and Portuguese for "watchman" or "watcher" - so far so good

"Vigilante justice" is sometimes spurred on by the perception that criminal punishment is insufficient or nonexistent to the crime. Some people see their governments as ineffective in enforcing the law; thus, such individuals fulfill the like-minded wishes of the community. - This sounds exactly like the Newbieshield to me.
