Hi there is backsnap [https://www.yabdab.com/help/backsnap](https://www.yabdab.com/help/backsnap) which has the possibility to remove comments etc as an admin. Pros: It is hosted on your server, no external source needed Cons (not for the experienced): you need a database on your server, most of the host companies provide this, you have to know your credentials, passwords etc e-mail function: Not sure what you mean - that the comments are emailed or that the guest can also send an email? ---

I haven’t worked with anything but disqus in the recent years. It may not be perfect with regard to limitations in styling etc. but it is well maintained and works well. ---

Backsnap seems to be a very nice stack for comments, but you cannot buy it on the page. Is it not sold any more? Could not find it. ---

You could have a look at the comments stack [https://stacks4stacks.com/commentsstack/](https://stacks4stacks.com/commentsstack/) I assume you want commenters to log in first? If you do, that’s a whole separate issue. ---

Mmmh, yes, could not find it on the page either. Perhaps a direct mail/PM to @yabdab can help? working example is here: [www.animatoscana.de/Gaestebuch](http://www.animatoscana.de/Gaestebuch) ---

That looks pretty good. It appears to have email integration also? Can a user submit a comment without entering their email address? ---

Hi Neil, no, in my case you can’t comment without filling out all the fields - in the settings you can require the email see screenshot ![03](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/0/0da6957822d0495881f1d5db197ed3cfc1ca7442.png) ---

It’s a good solution. Shame it’s no longer sold. ---

I have the commentStack. It is very easy to use and is doing the job. And with login,… it works great with SiteLok. I can confirm that. (Edit: Just checked and saw the local file-format for the comments is a noSQL database file.) But I like the idea to have the comments inside a database to use these with other tools maybe. Really sad, that it isn’t sold anymore. ---

Yes, it is not available currently. I am trying to narrow my focus on RW offerings. If I have time I will do some updates to Backsnap and re-release it again. ---
