Regarding Vyndree's comment 'but to the uninformed user they are not recommended' Rather than this, I would suggest that the user take a little time to become informed and thereby make a decision based on facts
I didn't say it wasn't possible, it just wasn't recommended.

A person who needs to be handfed (i.e. recommended) information about multiboxing is probably someone who needs to also be handfed the rules. I can't stomach taking responsibility for that. It would essentially become "my fault" morally (keep in mind my morals are my own) that they accidentally stumbled across something that broke the rules and got themselves banned.

A person who is motivated enough to figure out how to set up AHK on their own is a person motivated enough to figure out the rules on their own. And I have no responsibility for their actions if they do decide to use it in a way that breaks the rules.

Alternatives to keyclone are clearly available and as you can see in the 2nd post in this thread -- they were pointed out. But I'm not going to handhold someone to teach them how to use it -- for one, I don't even know how (I'm a hardware boxer) and two, even if I did know how to do it, I wouldn't want to also hand feed them the entirety of the EULA/Terms so that they don't accidentally get themselves banned. We're talking about showing a person HOW to use AHK, etc. While the warnings are in the manual (where the motivated multiboxer WILL find them), the moment we start copy/pasting chunks of it into the forum we might start to lose those warnings as they get quoted and passed along.

I think linking the wiki is good enough to point them in the right direction if they are motivated enough to follow through. If they go to the wiki, they will find the guides that show them how to set things up. Furthermore, the wiki has links to the GM conversations about automation and 3rd party software, and as I understand the setup guides have plenty of warnings when they show an example of things that might be against the rules. I just can't feel comfortable being responsible -- even only partially -- to someone getting banned from innocent misuse.

If they're not motivated enough to follow through with learning things themselves (including the rules/EULA), then they can buy keyclone or just not multibox. Just my opinion.
