No name/e-mail required in comments

Hello,

I’m not sure if this is due to the theme or not, but I wanted to ask to make sure (Let me already say that I’m sorry if this has nothing to do with the theme)

I want to make it optional for viewers of my blog to leave their name and e-mail address (preferably, also not show a web page input box at all) in the comments. I’ve unchecked the option “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail” in the Discussion section, but there is still an asterisk behind the name and e-mail input field. Is this something that is hard coded in your theme?

Thank you for your help!
