I don't see why it would be annoying. It would be up to me to opt in on it, like any antag options in the game preference.

Hello all. My name is Tormod, from Norway. I am turning 40 this year. I am a passionate software developer (in .NET). I am married and have three kids. I've done some leisurely MMA, piano playing, dancing and been active underwater rugby player for 15 years. Been an active member of the red cross for 25 years. I came across Space Station 13 watching the youtube video "Purging the station" where the guy recording is a successfull antag chaplain. Very good video about the game and quite exciting as well. While in character, I am dabbling mostly in medical and security. I take on a head role if I don't think that I'll be disturbed by the kids. I enjoy the the action/RP mix of paradise station. I don't have a problem with dying as part of a good story.

Sorry about the delay. Back from easter holiday. You are talking about when I am observing. I am talking about when I am JOINING a round. If there are xenos or borers, I would like to join as those. But putting those options on the join screen would be a huge spoiler. I was suggesting a user preference option that caused me to automatically join as xeno if xeno was available regardless of what profession I chose at the join screen.

When I enter a round in progress. I would like to play as facehugger or borer if they are available, but checking for this by observing and then pressing "join as NPC" forfeits my chance to enter round as a regular player. Of course, facehuggers/borers can't just pop up in the join dialog alongside available work positions as the presence of either is a massive spoiler if they were options in the join menu. But if the join options (or preferences) had a "join as facehugger if available" check box would address all of the above concerns.
