In multiplayer games of A Miner Adventure I get these kinds of messages a lot:

Sorry, the following is not valid: "x"
usage: KeyDown is not accessible

Is there any way to disable them?

You can override client/Command() to ignore non-verb input. You'll also need to check for telnet clients in client/New() and disable that manually since any override of client/Command() will allow telnet connections.

I'm still getting these messages. Do I need to make Command() return a certain value or something?

client
    Command(command)
        
        
mob
    verb
        Test()
            usr << "test"


Seems to do the trick for me, it'll output nothing if I enter an invalid command, and execute "Test" if I input "test".

Actually, now that I look further I notice you're probably using an interface macro to execute a command the client doesn't have. This message cannot be suppressed, but you can prevent it by making sure the client has the command accessible at all times -- even if it doesn't do anything.

The macros are valid. I think the problem is that the client submits a command to the server and doesn't get a confirmation back within a certain amount of time, so it displays the error message. It tends to happen when there's more than usual amounts of lag. Hopefully there's a way to suppress it because it's annoying having the chat log filled with messages that are meaningless to users.

I don't think there's a way to suppress it, but the cause of it seems like a bug to me. Perhaps taking it to the tracker?
