Trying to use angle brackets, as someone else already pointed out is an issue.
This one seems strange to me, since angle brackets fall within standard Latin unicode (U+003C and U+003E), which doesn't mesh with what was said about allowing U+0000 through U+00FF.
I would greatly appreciate it if I could be added to the bypass list as well. Thanks.
I'd really appreciate being bypassed too. I wrote a long post in Pages and tried to swap all instances of quotes and dashes, but it didn't work. Thanks in advance!

The <> characters do fall within extended ascii, however they are translated by the post processor into > type encoding. This is a hard stop that prevents any and all html tags, and is standard practice. The issue is that all &code; encoding is also blocked by the nonlatin check, since you could circumvent the entire check by encoding nonlatin characters this way. The GT and LT <>, as well as a couple others, should be allowed, but there's was a bugfix that didn't flow out correctly as the nonlatin was added.

Yeah, that makes sense, fair enough.
Wouldn't a better solution just be to implement captchas on posting? Granted, I don't know how difficult that would be to implement on this system, but it would stop a lot of spammers.
Also, if my understanding of the spam bots is accurate, just stopping non-Latin characters in the title of threads, as opposed to the whole thread, should stop them just as well, and avoid many of these issues.
Having trouble editing my trade forum thread & was direct here by trade mod for help?

I just discovered this thread, as I was only looking in community issues.
@Feyd_Ruin: May I get added to the bypass list as well? I have all my articles about custom card design that I can't either edit or post to my blog anymore (I get the same "non-Latin characters" message on the blog too). Thanks in advance. And also thanks for all the work you're doing with this Korean spam issue.

Playing millions of cards every turn... Slowly and systematically obliterating any chance my opponent has of winning... Clicking the multitude of locking mechanisms into place... Not even trying to win myself until turn 10+ once I have nigh absolute control... Watching my opponent desperately trying to navigate the labyrinthine prison that I've constructed... Seeing the light of hope fade and ultimately extinguished in an excruciatingly slow manner... THAT'S fun Magic.
We have 2-3 users that are dramatically making this thread incomprehensible and non-productive for anyone else to possibly join in the discussion. This needs to change.
Every time I see [ktkenshinx] post in here, I get the impression of a stern dad walking in on a bunch of kids trying to do something dumb and just shaking his head in disappointment.
Near Mint: The same as Slightly Played, but we threw some Altoids in the box we stored it in to cover up the scent of dead mice. Slightly Played: The base condition for all MTG cards. This card looks OK, but there’s one minor annoying ding in it that will always irritate and distract you whenever you draw it. Moderately Played: This card looks like it survived the Tet Offensive tucked inside the waistband of GI underwear. It may smell like it, too. Heavily Played: This card looks like the remains of Mohammed Atta’s passport after 9/11. It may be playable if you double-sleeve it to stop the chunks from falling out. The condition formerly known as "Washing Machine Grade" Damaged: This card is the unfortunate victim of a Mirrorweave/March of the Machines/Chaos Confetti/Mindslaver combo.
[M]aking counterfeit cards is the absolute height of dishonesty. Ask yourself this question: Since most people...are totally cool with the use of proxies...what purpose do [high] quality counterfeit cards serve?
