Orynge is right. Have a modified client "number" implies that you don't have a binary identical client but it can't prove that the client is a cheat, per se. On the other hand, having a non-modified client "number" doesn't imply anything. There aren't really any pluses to blocking clients that identify themselves as modified unless you suspect that a higher proportion of those clients that identify as modified are in fact cheating. That may seem likely, but I have heard most modern hacks, such as the current DXT hacks, don't identify as modified. jamz is probably in a better position to comment about that than me though.
