It's a position that's supposed to read the staff lounge and report on any wrongdoings to the masses in order to prevent a second SSBBS.
Although I comprehend and agree with the desire to not have one's staff room turn into a hive of petty gossip, a watchdog is not needed. Whoever runs the board is responsible for the staff lounge. He is the one who has to play the heavy and say "No gossip or dissing the posters in the staff lounge." It's called being the leader. And if the leader fucks up and says something snarky, his or her mods should say, "Hey, hypocrite. Stop it."
It's not difficult. No "special" position is needed. I know, because I'm in the same position and I have to say that shit. And if I slip up, I expect people to yell at me (and they will - happily!)
If people need to bitch about posters, that's why MSN and ICQ are around.

I think we should implement Watchdog positions at TK
It's a position that's supposed to read the staff lounge and report on any wrongdoings to the masses in order to prevent a second SSBBS. The problem is that they always choose brown nosing retards for the spot.
Just look at Karas/Spidey/Captain Jack.
