    make a backup copy of the theme files before editing

    look into comments.php of your theme:

    and try to find something vaguely similar to (focus on the word ‘required’ for instance) and edit/remove the word:

    <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo esc_attr($comment_author); ?>" size="22" tabindex="1" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?> />
<label for="author"><small>Name <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>

<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo esc_attr($comment_author_email); ?>" size="22" tabindex="2" <?php if ($req) echo "aria-required='true'"; ?> />
<label for="email"><small>Mail (will not be published) <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>

    thanks that was very helpful. i had to edit the AJAX comments plugin because i’m using that, but it worked out in the end.
