 * Hey.
    I have made a contact form based on people can give positive or negative
   feed on how drivers behave in traffic, for a transport company. But I see now
   that there is a problem with people using anonymous both in first name and surname.
   Is there a way I can avoid this, so when they try to send the mail they will 
   get a notice that anonymous is not allowed?

 * How do you distinguish anonymous names from real names?

 * I don’t and that won’t be possible.
    But I would like it not to be possible to
   send the mail if they write Anonymous Anonymous as their first and last name 
   in the name fields.

 * If you just want to block the word “Anonymous”, you can do it with the [disallowed list](https://contactform7.com/comment-blacklist/).
