 * It is a very basic guestbook. Easy to implement.
    – I miss a “thank you” page.
   After submitting a message in the guestbook, you only see an empty form. – What
   about spam prevention? No captcha available. – I would prefer a guestbook in 
   which guests can not submit a website. – I would prefer an option to only enable
   flat text. No HTML tags and attributes.

 * Due to the usage of the wordpress integrated comments you can use any anti-spam
   plugin also with Comment Guestbook.
 * The “thank you” page is a good idea, I will have a look at this in one of the
   next version.

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
    I will add an anti-spam plugin.
 * What about my other questions?

 * I prefer the [Anti-spam plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/anti-spam/).
   It is very easy to use and the user don’t have to insert any captcha.
 * The other answers to your questions:
 * – I would prefer a guestbook in which guests can not submit a website:
    Do you
   mean that you have to be logged in to post a guestbook entry? If so an option
   is available for that in WordPress. Goto Settings -> Discussion -> “Users must
   be registered and logged in to comment”. Due to the usage of the wordpress integrated
   comments this option is also valid for the guestbook.
 * – I would prefer an option to only enable flat text. No HTML tags and attributes:
   
   I didn’t found a wordpress option for that. I also had a quick look if I can 
   find an existing plugin for that, but I didn’t found one so far. Perhaps you 
   can have a more detailed look.
 * I hope that helps and I would be happy if you can give me one more star.

 * This is not what I mean.
    When a guest writes in the guestbook, he has to submit
   his e-mail address. But then he is asked to submit his website URL. That is something
   I don’t want.

 * I have not found it either, even after long search. Maybe somebody else knows
   how to solve this?

 * When the “thank you” page is in place, you will even get 5 stars!

 * This is not possible with my plugin yet, but I want to include options to modify
   the comment form in one of the next versions. Perhaps you can find another plugin
   which already can do that.

 * Thanks in advance, this is the next feature I will include. I think I can finish
   the new version within the next 2 or 3 weeks.

 * I have implemented a “thank you” message now. Please try it.
    I probably will
   include some more option to modify the message in the next versions.

 * Rizzi-Guestbook is the plugin you want. It removes the URL website field.
