Talk:Watchmen

Title

What if we rename this to CPU Gatekeepers? Then move the Arbitarch stuff to a side-note on the page and put back the Gatekeepers summary from Other Enablers? Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 04:36, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Just Gatekeepers will be better, not everyone is a CPU. Other than that I agree. - klop (talk) 04:39, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Fair point, though Gatekeepers sounds like more of a disambiguation page since other groups have been gatekeepers before. I guess it could work as a temp title until more info comes to light. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

How about "The Watchmen". A reference to the classic comic book. Plus I want to call myself Rorschach (since he writes a diary and is almost like a chronicler of events). As of now 4 members are publically known - Me, MKR, Aqua and anameisaname from kiwi farms. - klop (talk) 03:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Okay to start sections on Rorschach and anameisaname? Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 07:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Conflicts on Origins section

In the Origins section, someone asked a Watchman about the origins of the group, and the Watchman responded by quoting a section from the Guard Dogs article which stated that the Guard Dogs elected people to supervise Chris at further conventions.

However, the editor who put that section in has since retracted it for lack of source and said he had probably misread the Kiwi Farms thread. Marvin, one of the Guard Dogs, also stated that Chris was on his own and had no one babysitting him. File:Marvin on conventions claim.png.

So I'm deleting the Origins section in light of the conflict. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 03:24, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

So I talked to Naught about the conflict and got some clarifying statements saying that Owls, the original leader of the Watchmen, lied about some things. Will restore the Origins section and incorporate the new statements in. Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 04:27, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Ongoing?

I noticed that the ongoing template was removed. Are they no longer gatekeeping Chris, or was it just removed because they're generally not publicly active? Lez (talk) 08:58, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Figured it could be removed since there hasn't been news lately and the page itself isn't frequently updated anymore. Think we should put it back? Hurtful Truth Level (talk) 16:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I think it should regain the ongoing template because while they aren't regularly active, they are still interacting with Chris. The removal of the template suggests that they aren't gatekeepers anymore, which isn't the case as far as I know. I was also thinking about adding a section about how a watchman posted one user's info and links to several of their social media accounts on the CWCki Discord (effectively doxxing that user), which resulted in that watchman (maybe two of them) being banned. It's not closely related to Chris but it would do a good job of showing how they operate. Abaddon (talk) 06:10, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
