Score updates are processed through commentstree_q. When a new comment is created an automatic initial vote (by the comment's author) is created. This results in two messages in commentstree_q: one from the vote and one from queries.new_comments. Don't create the message from the vote because it is redundant. This will let us reduce the volume of messages in commentstree_q which is currently very high.
