It could be due to my ignorance but I find odd that WordPress templates rarely offer a customised way to show the comment’s output when the users forget to fill a field (or they fill it wrongly). Usually, they simply call wp-comments-post.php that shows quite a poor output.
I’ve tried to go over this problem with a patch for Sandbox that is basically a reshuffle of wp-comments-post.php (with a custom wp_die()).
Here you can download this patch.

wordpress latest version has a brillient comment board
The ouput of wp-comments-post.php is still the same, though.
good article
thanks
I agree that wordpress has rather strong comments-background, and there’re also lots of widgets for customizing.
I’m sorry but you missed the point. The problem is not about the layout of the comments (or the widgets), the problem is the output when you submit a comment with its fields wrongly filled!
This is really quick.
Maybe take a look at the PHP source available for example here
