 * Sometimes comments are being posted twice on a post. Is there a way for the plugin
   to marked the second one as spam so the duplicate comment will not be posted?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@vtechbox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vtechbox/)
 * it wouldn’t be a good idea to mark those comments as spam. If you have enabled
   the “Local spam db” feature, this would mean every comment from those mail/IP/…
   would be marked as spam.
 * There is also a duplicate comment detection already in core:

 * All the best
