Banning other clients to stop bots/triggers might not be such a good idea. Why? Because you can write a screen reader(OCR) to scan for patterns, and then send the commands to the client with the usual Windows messages. Suddenly your own client is used by the bot, not even bypassing any encryption.
There was a big discussion on the zMUD forum a few years ago about adding support to zMUD so that MUDs could disable triggers. A lot of people mentioned different ways to bypass the system which caused the feature to be dropped.
