client/Move(newloc, dir)
  var/d = get_dir(mob.loc, newloc)
  //block diagonal movement:
  if(d&(d-1))
    return 0
  //block backwards movement
  if(d == turn(mob.dir, 180))
    return 0
  //allow all other movement
  return ..()

Also, don't rule out that he may even possibly mean something like strafe side to side, but he may not, and may actually turn that direction to be able to go backwards, or may not want anyone to go backwards at all.

If I ruled out strafing I would have used the dir argument instead of using get_dir().

well, in his case he may not know how to make strafing work, but good work there too, if he asks for strafing thats when one of us will post something to help him.
