If you are writing a game you should think about cheaters and how to prevent them from cheating.
I don't think only the mmo multiplayer games but also singleplayer or "home-brewed" p2p mp games too.

There's a couple of questions here.
Image I have client A who's going to send the following message to Server: "START MOVEMENT FORWARD".

Even some MMO games take by the client and blindly trusts it.
Some good multiplayer games uses a mechanism to allow players move smoothly even under heavy round people jumping from place to place while you are moving smoothly.

I've been writing a 2D flash multiplayer game and a socket server. My original plan for the movement algorithm between the client and server was the following:
The client informs the server about the player's movement mode (moving forward or not moving...

Is your server so slow that it cannot handle all of the movement? Especially in a 2-d game? Typically when I make little 2d games the server gives me back all of my movements, so no calculation that have a latency above a certain threshold....
