Should we have nostream as a default option?

So, I was looking at the stream recently (within the last day or so) and noticed that it almost certainly had a direct influence on a recent PKing situation. I'm not sure if I'm in a majority or minority in typing NOSTREAM on soon after character creation, but I personally don't like being stream sniped (which was what seemed to happen there). I'm not saying remove the streaming altogether (seeing what happens in the Arena or when a poker game is in progress is good in my opinion), but when PKs happen and the stream clearly showed where somebody went after they had avoided dying, I don't think it's doing the game a service as it adds an OOC element and an unfair advantage to those who know about it (and makes those unaware of it perhaps have no idea what happened).

What other advantages and disadvantages would there be to having nostream enabled by default? Discuss.

Increase the delay in the stream. We need as much exposure of action as possible!

Everytime you login it tells you in big letters you are being streamed on the front page. If you had the option enabled. You would know that

No, nostream should NOT be a default option.

I think a longer delay would be reasonable and maybe some tweaking as to how long you're followed after combat ends or what rooms it shows when you are running through them.

But outside of the sniping issue, I think the stream is a huge benefit for those drawbacks.

The issue you probably think about is not even remotely true.

All happened before the stream even caught up.

Wouldn't be the first time this happened. time to Stream use to be even shorter prior to what its at now. I complained because I noticed someone stream sniping and it got lengthened.
