You're giving the users administrative powers. Add a keycheck in the login instead.

PS; this should be in Developer How-To

There is no "code" for letting someone host. They just click the Host button and that's it. You're probably making the first person to login the Head Moderator, when you should only make them Head Moderator if they match your key.

i have a nifty little code for this, let me see...
i will give you the codes for keycheck for MOD's and Über MOD's (just in case of annoying MOD's)
mob
    Login()
        MODcheck() // When loggin on perform this check

    proc
        MODcheck() // The desired proc
            if (usr.key == "key1" | "maybe_key2") // Check for the keys of those MOD's
                usr.MOD = 1 // Nifty little var, i use it to stop MOD's editing other MOD's
                usr.suffix = "MOD" // Let them know your powers
                MODextras() // This gives you the extra verbs

this is for the extra verbs check
    proc
        MODextras()
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Boot(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Ban(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Unban(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Ban_ip_range(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Display_ip_address(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Edit(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Disable_cheats(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Mute(usr)
            new/mob/MOD/verb/Unmute(usr)
            if (usr.key == "Meganutter") // I am Über MOD in my own game of-course thus allows me to edit MOD's
                usr.SuperMOD = 1
                usr.Creator = 1
                usr.suffix = "SuperMOD & Creator"
                new/mob/MOD/verb/Edit_MOD(usr)
                new/mob/MOD/verb/Edit_all(usr)

Regular edit beginning
    MOD
        verb
            Edit(mob/edit as mob in online)
                set category = "Options"
                if (edit.MOD == 1) // Put this as the start of your edit verb and only Über MOD's can edit everyone
                    usr << "You cant edit MOD's"
                    return

MOD editor
    MOD
        verb
            Edit_MOD(mob/edit as mob in online)
                set category = "Options"
                if (usr.SuperMOD == 0)
                    usr << "You cant edit MOD's"
                    return
                if (edit.suffix <> MOD)
                    usr << "This is not a MOD"
                    return

i hope i helped you a bit with these codes ^^ if you have any questions, do not fear to page or email me
just insert the missing vars how you like them

1) Don't put usr in those procs. Use src.

2) Don't do if(key==""), do if(ckey=="").

3) Don't do if(var==1) or if(var==0) for Boolean variables (variables that can only ever be 1 or 0). Do if(var) or if(!var).

4) Instead of adding a lot of verbs seperately, use typesof().

ckey might not work well for administration stuff if the username has spaces in it. Then someone can remove the space and be an admin.

Um, no.

Every key on BYOND has an original ckey. For example, no one can make the key "Death Awaits U" because I have the ckey "deathawaitsu".

Could've sworn I heard a while ago that if someone had a key named...say..."Iggle Biggle Wiggle," and then someone else could make "IggleBiggleWiggle."

Problems(aside from what DAU said);

You didn't call the parent proc in mob/Login() (..())
Don't use |, use || as if() arguments.
Edit(mob/edit as mob in online) Uh, what? Why not
(mob/edit in world)?
