Honestly I've never really liked having deadchat knowledge being completely fine to use once you're back on your feet. It's always irked me that a guy popping out of the cloner and hollering 'X IS A LING GET 'IM' or quietly loading up on weaponry to finish said task themselves suffers no repercussions for doing so, whereas having to take active measures against that guy being revived is metagrudging and specifically against the rules. I've always felt admins who came down on the 'deadchat knowledge is completely fine' side are kind of spoiled by having all in-game info available to them.
That said, I can see how that stuff would be hard to police on an admin level, so I suppose the current ruling is fine, but in turn I think ghosts shouldn't have access to all that much abuseable metaknowledge as a result - it's fairly easy to set up in-game communication methods with ghosts that allow people to gain all the knowledge of deadchat without breaking a single rule. All this is a long-winded way to say 'no', I suppose.
(also I can't help but notice most of the people most in favour of this idea are the type most likely to quietly take advantage of said feature as often as possible.)
