By this I mean enter the game and have visibility on everything, but with chat and other ways to contact the players disabled.
Well.. The host could put a second copy of the game up, replacing the copied save with the new one from the real game at each new turn. And then give the admin password to lurkers.
Potential for abuse is even higher than secretly reading spoiler threads, as a dishonest civ could check out all their rivals directly. I'd imagine some information doesn't make the spoiler threads (and some civs (including me in PB1) don't update their threads at all).
