Code:
mob/proc
    newchar()
        var/user_name = input(usr, "Your name?", "Name")
        if(!user_name)
            return 0
        if(lentext(user_name) > 15)
            src <<"<font size = 1><font color = red><b>System:</b></font><font size = 1><font color = black><b> Your name is too long.</b></font>"
            return 0
        for(var/N in un_wanted_names && html)
            if(findtext(user_name,N) == 0)
                src <<"<font size = 1><font color = red><b>System:</b></font><font size = 1><font color = black><b> Please do not put HTML in names.</b></font>"
                return 0
            else
                src.name = user_name
                world<<"<font size = 1><font color = green><B>Event: <font color = black>[src.name] has logged in</font>"
                src.Save()

var/list/html = list("<",">","font","size")


var
    list
        un_wanted_names = list("blocked_for_forum")


Problem description:

I went back to a names demo and it works fine except for the name "<" That is the only one in the list it won't block.

You could get around that by limiting names to two characters?
But then again, if it's blocking ">", even if its not blocking "<", HTML is blocked anyway...
