What have you added in the tpl?
Have you added:
<!-- IF {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
{PHP.L.User}: {COMMENTS_FORM_POSTER}
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
{PHP.L.plu_robot} {COMMENTS_FORM_VERIFY_IMG}: {COMMENTS_FORM_VERIFY}
<!-- ENDIF -->
{COMMENTS_FORM_POSTER} is a box where the guest has to enter his name.
Because this is what the error is telling you:
The author name is too short or missing <!-- BEGIN: COMMENTS_NEWCOMMENT -->
<div class="block">
<form action="{COMMENTS_FORM_SEND}" method="post" name="newcomment">
<h4>{PHP.skinlang.comments.Comment}</h4>
<table class="cells">
<!-- IF {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
<tr>
<td>{PHP.L.Name}:</td>
<td>{COMMENTS_FORM_POSTER}</td>
</tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->
<tr>
<td style="width:100px;">{PHP.L.Comment}:</td>
<td><div style="width:100%;">{COMMENTS_FORM_TEXTBOXER}</div></td>
</tr>
<!-- IF {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
<tr>
<td>Enter CAPTCHA code:</td>
<td>
{COMMENTS_FORM_VERIFY_IMG}
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF !{PHP.cfg.plugin.recaptcha.privatekey} AND {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
<br />{COMMENTS_FORM_VERIFY}
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF {PHP.usr.id} < 1 -->
</td>
</tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="valid"><input type="submit" value="{PHP.skinlang.comments.Send}"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div>
<!-- END: COMMENTS_NEWCOMMENT -->

Maybe give us your link.
I use the block above and reCAPTCHA-plugin and it works fine.
Which version of Cotonti do you have?
