Filter Posts by a Specific User or list of users only #63

when creating a filter, often you will risk collateral post filtering, and removing things that are not what are intended. most of the time, this is thanks to the filter being targeted at a couple people, or a specific person, who uses the filtered text in a certain way. this can be mitigated/resolved entirely via the CW-Applying-Filter, and the ability to filter only X users posts out. this would essentially turn it into "Filter X if posted by Y users" and "Filter X if Not posted by Y users".

In UI, this would have a checkbox to expand a field marked "Filter by user" which would then have "filter posts by this/these user" and "filter posts NOT by this/these users" as radio buttons, alongside a UI that lets users add users to the list being used for the filter
