Default Posting on my blind

I play a lot 15-30 on Party. Most of the time I sit down in an 5-6 handed table. If all the players are sitting on the left of the table let's say one person sits down in seat 5, I go sit in seat 6 and the others are sitting in seat 7 to 10. If now a new player comes in on seat 1, the second on seat 2 etc. They all post on my big blind.
Is this an advantage?
It could be cause less people are trying to steal my blind because there is another blind.

Comment please? And please give arguments for your comments.

People putting in money without seeing their cards first == +EV (for you).

Though it will reduce the number of blind steals in the pure sense, lots of posters means that good players will also lower their raising standards a bit to try to force the posters out and create true dead money in the pot. So you might actually face more blind semisteals when there are a number of posters.

Also, this situation will come up so rarely as to not have a huge effect on your game.

Thx for your comments.

I don't lower my raising standards but do them higher because a lot of players don't muck their blind posted.
