A large amount of spam entries are being made where the first name and the last name are the same. I'd love to use Webform Validation to prevent this from happening.

Added a change to the value comparison operator. Considered adding "equals" to the operator, but didn't as it's a separate option already.

How about implementing this by making the "Equal values" validator accept the negate option?

Thanks for the patch. Patches need to be made from the module directory. This means that they do not include "sites/all/modules" etc. They also need to be made with unix-style line endings. Otherwise, they won't apply and be tested by the automated testing. Attached is a re-roll of the patch.

This works for ensuring that two components have different values. For three or more, it only checks that they later components are different from the first, not that they are all different from each other, which I think is what is implied by this validator.

Doesn't the existing 'Unique values' rule cover this case? Add a 'Unique values' rule and choose the first and last name fields.
