exclude users or words from being auto_* by providing a filter function

[Nowaker]

Not a true Python code, but you'll get the idea.

def filter(tweet):
  if tweet["user"]["screen_name"] == 'Some Spammer' || tweet["text"].contains "banned word":
    return false
  return true

auto_fav("phrase", count=1000, filter)

So you are saying 'words' a user is using like "*" would be a wildcard to python thus they'd be favorited? and you want to prevent that.... right?

[Nowaker]

No, not at all. See the example code.

oh i see. i over thought this based upon the title. hopefully something like this gets implemented.

Good idea. Not sure if I'll have time to implement this in the near future (as evidenced by taking 2 weeks to respond - sorry!), but it's on the TODO list now.
