[[WMG: The Low King made "Blackboard Monitor" an official title to help clean up certain leftovers from ''Thud!''.]]
The dwarfs in ''Thud!'' didn't dare leave the drawing of the Summoning Dark symbol in darkness, surrounding it with candles all night lest it "escape" and cause harm. The sensible solution would've been to destroy the drawing, yet their culture is staunchly against the erasure of writing in any form. By declaring Vimes' title as "Blackboard Monitor" to be official, the Low King may well have been endowing him with the legitimate right to break that stricture on dwarfdom's behalf, so that the Commander -- the only person ever known to have [[{{Determinator}} defied and suppressed]] the Summoning Dark's influence -- could ''personally'' destroy any such symbols that turned up, thus protecting others from its contagion.

* Pratchett has said the word has two meanings in regard to the book. Having now read it, I think the meanings are (1) to the tobacco/snuff smuggling trade that Vetinari sent Vimes on his "vacation" to investigate, and (2) the casual snuffing of goblins that attended said snuff smuggling.
Changed line(s) 32 (click to see context) from:

* My own impression is that Vimes did exactly what Vetinari wanted him to do: put an end to smuggling by a bunch of aristocrats, thereby bringing aristocrats more under rule of law (a long-term problem in Ankh-Morpork), and liberating the goblins. The fact that Vetinari dressed Vimes down for doing this is irrelevant. Or rather it is: Vetinari can't let Vimes know that he sent him to act on the windy edges of the law, even if it was to extend those edges.
