I don't know about you, but I'm tired of being afraid to try things because of what people might do. I see no harm for trying, and it fits (or at least doesn't break) our staff philosophy of letting adults be adults.
I'm not assuming it's going to be a rousing success, but I do know that being an optimist once in a while allows me to learn quite a lot on how to implement something on similar lines in the future, or even in the now.
Theno, does your codebase/server .conf allow you to disallow WIZCLOAKing (Dark + Cloak)? I've overridden the WHO so that it shows DARK wizards and the +WHERE tells you right where you are.. That's what I'm doing, for the exact same reasons - so wizards are visible if they are on. The end goal here is that anyone flagged as Staff will always be visible to the players as connected and either working or AFK and able to get back to them when they can.
TL;DR: I'm with Thenomain on the approach.
