When somebody new comments, they'll be redirected to a thank you page. So far so good. But if someone comments a second time, they won't see the "Your comment is awaiting moderation". In fact, they don't see their comment at all. Which then can lead to people commenting again and again because they think their comment didn't go through.
Only if I hit "reply to another comment" in the same post where I already commented, then I can see the "moderation comment".
This is completely weird and it shouldn't be like that.
Can you tell me what I need to change in my code in order to fix this?
Thank you very much.
