If a live-stream viewer sees an impropriety should he call the tournament director?

The biggest problem with this is people on the whole can't be trusted to use good judgement. In the scenario you describe I would have been perfectly comfortable with you alerting the TD (or anyone honestly) who could rectify the oversight. However, I can imagine an endless amount of scenarios where the viewer may not know what's going on and is simply a nuisance. It would have to be taken on a case by case basis and I think on the whole I'd recommend against this becoming commonplace.

There was a match being played this weekend between Player A and Player B. I honestly don't remember who they were but I was walking by and noticed that one player's clock was still running with both players being under 2 minutes. It may have been speed gammon. It was in between games where they were talking. Without hesitation I asked them if they were playing with the clock and then alerted them to the fact that it was still running. Technically I was probably supposed to keep my nose out of it and alert the TD but that seems ridiculous instead of telling them on the spot.
