Cutepogiamhermosa, you can leave this message active. A person with Patrol rights only means that they've checked a particular edit and have clicked on "Mark as patrolled" if it's okay. If it isn't, they would still click on that but then would also have to use Undo or re-edit the page to fix it.

There's limits on what they can check. For example, a "patroller" can't mark revisions of a blog as patrolled. And it doesn't have any special editing privileges other than being able to say "I've looked at this edit so others don't have to".
