Deletion messages of watched threads

I've just carried out a little test and I don't think you can see the deletion message if you just watch a thread and not post on it.

We have had a lot of trolls recently and often I want to just report and not give them attention, but if you don't post on the thread, you don't see it go, or why. Obviously MNHQ try to email, but understandably that often takes a while.

Would you consider enabling people who have watched a thread to see the deletion message too?

Morning.

And yes, it's on Tech's list to extend the deletion message "viewing" to Threads I'm Watching. But Tech just hasn't managed to get to it yet. Apols: please bear with us.

@Beehatch

It did occur to me that 'witty' deletion messages from MNHQ are just asking people to keep feeding the trolls. Never occurred to me that just watching might be an option (or not!). People seem to like being involved in the car crash though.

Hmm. Yes, we are aware of this possibility. And we do hope that folks won't 'feed'.
