There are a few checklist items that should be in each comment.
- The commenter’s gravatar. Optional, but a best practice. Use get_comment_author_email.
- The commenter’s name. Use comment_author.
- The commenter’s URL. Usually applied as a link to the commenter’s name. Use comment_author_url
- The date / time the comment was made. Use get_comment_date.
- A permalink to the comment. Usually applied as a link to the date / time of the comment. Use get_comment_link
- Indication of a comment left by the post author. Style the .bypostauthor class.
- The comment text. Use comment_text.
- An edit comment link. Use edit_comment_link.
- A comment reply link. Used for threaded comments. Use comment_reply_link.

This user it trying to be anonymous.
- They used a fake email, so there should be no Gravatar associated with it.
- They did not speify a website, so there should be no link to it in the comment.
