    The fields are not used if you require users to login to post comments ??

    A lot of themes rely on WP functions like comment_form() and wp_list_comments(). If this describes your theme, your theme’s support might send you back here unless they are particularly helpful. The ‘comment_form_default_fields’ filter can be used to remove fields. You could simply hide the fields with CSS instead. Be sure that the “Comment author must fill out name and email” option is unchecked in discussion settings.
