In order to prevent duplicate form submission you should implement the
Post/Redirect/Get Pattern

So if the form submission is valid and you performed all data manipulation redirect to the empty form page:

def post(request, slug):
    user = get_object_or_404(User,username__iexact=request.user)
    ...
    ...
    if comment_form.is_valid():
        # do you data manipulation
        ...
        # redirect to the empty form view
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/url_of_empty_form/')
    ...

    # this will only render if the form is not valid
    return render(request, 'main/post.html', context_dict)
