Eh? If you're staff on the server, why would you want to hack in another staff's account? I mean, you'd see it through "Change Rights" or "View Other Players" Either of these should be set only if you trust the person in the first place.

Asking to add MAC addresses will not be much different in this regard.

Umm... MAC Addresses are diectly linked to your HARDWARE ID (CONSTANT VARIABLE). Of course, changing hardware would cause a change in MAC Address, but it would be a lot more suspectible if you changed. In that case, the person would direct to a higher staff -- Someone (supposidly) more responsible/knowledgible on the subject. Dail-up users would be getting a slack, increasing security. Static IPs can still be used for IP Checking. It's just one more set of protection. (both validating the IP and Hardware.)
