I can agree with this, with one "minor" detail..

Player IP's are not displayed by default.  However, a server admin has the
ability to specify which players can view player IP's with the who
command.

I know from experience that it's been helpful in tracking down hacked
password issues with a character - I was able to login and ask certain
players what IP <character> connected from and then proceed from there.
Basically, it saved me alot of time and did not force me to camp online.

Whow knows, with a feature like this it might lead to more of a sub-DM
status for people to help or assist other players. ;)

An interesting and amusing idea!
