 * I’m having some issues with using the wp_insert_comment function. On its own 
   it works just fine to insert new comments for a specific post.
 * However when I use get_comments() before wp_insert_comment() to check for duplicate
   comments the new comment is not inserted. Strangely it works if I refresh the
   page to try insert the comment again.
 * Any suggestions why this might happen.
