Organ trade crackdown by the Feds. :-D

Kidding aside, < and > are used for HTML tags. I guess they decided that removing them was easier than escaping them properly.

People cheat in this game. Not allowing certain characters in input fields is a very simple way of stopping them from cheating using something called SQL injection. Players have been caught using it, it’s a small price to pay to stop them.

You can put it in the field but it turns red and can’t send it. For some strange reason even ‘ can’t be used in the message either. I’d understand that it was to prevent dodgy shit if it was a back tick but a apostrophe is put in automatically on most mobiles

Didn't realise that, that's a bit sad. It's just unicode, I don't see any way it could be used to cheat or anything. The apostrophe is a bit ridiculous too.
