Nightwatch

[TyneTeas]

Would it be helpful to have something pinned to the top of the Nightwatch board as a reminder of what the remit and powers of the Nightwatch are as well as what information (eg links) it is helpful to include in posts?

(And a big thank you to our brilliant Nightwatch)

Eg I think I have seen before the Nightwatch say links to the threads being included is helpful

Aww fanks, TyneTeas

Yep would be useful to have a pinned message but not many people know about the NW board - it's not so easy to find!

Maybe HQ could have a message about The Night Watch pinned overnight on all the boards?

Yes always very helpful to have links to the offending threads/posts

It might also be helpful to have something about the Nightwatch on the message when you go to report a post, so 'out of hours' people know of the option for anything particularly pressing.

Perhaps Nightwatch could have a button, Sticky that appears once they come on shift?

We need also to acknowledge and appreciate that the Nightwatch are volunteers. I am certainly not trying to create or direct them extra work, but rather help influence what they do get to be more focused

We don't actually come on shift as such - it's just if any of us happens to be around

And links to threads are very helpful

Out of curiosity, how does one volunteer for this?

Yes links are great. Or if people cant link proper info on the post or poster you're flagging up is helpful.

Threads in NW with 'Troll posting in Chat' really doesnt help us

Also bear in mind we dont get notifications of posts reported out of hours as standard so by all means report so MNHQ can address the problem but flag it up to us too

Thanks! I’ve sent MNHQ a message to see if they will consider my application, but for now I will endeavour to help out via linking to troll threads I come across on here. 🙂

@EineKleineNachtwatcher for you too!

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestion - we'll have a chat about it in the office!
We'll get back to NW applications with relevant information as soon as we're able.
