Difference between "new threads" and "new messages" in watch forum options

[cdub]

When I choose to watch a forum there are two options.

Watch threads & watch messages.

Basically I want to, as an administrator, be notified about every new post on the forum. Is there an easy way for me to set this up?

Select 'New Messages' for all posts.

You would have to do that for every forum.
