Comment (by ocean90):

 > By the way the sentence "Required fields are marked *" appears only when
 users are logged out. When logged in there's just the textarea. I guess
 this is OK

 I thought we're adding the asterisk for consistency? Showing no help text
 feels inconsistent, especially for sites where only logged in users can
 comment.
