Hello Randal, first of all thank you very much for your work: TwitterFollowBot is very useful, and a very clean code, I'm using it both to improve my TW account and to start studying Python!
I'm just a beginner, therefore I cannot understand so much and I'd need some help to understand how to modify the original code...
ISSUE: from my TW account page, I manually revise my following list, removing the accounts I actually don't want to follow (e.g. offensive, spam, languages I don't speak) that the BOT added automatically. When I re-start the BOT, it adds again the same accounts I eliminated before (for instance, they are using a keyword I indicate as relevant). How could I avoid it?
I cannot understand how the ALREADY_FOLLOWED_FILE works: does it consider only accounts unfollowed by the BOT? There is an 'unfollowed list' into my Twitter account considering all the unfollowing actions? Could I manually add undesirable account IDs to my ALREADY_FOLLOWED_FILE (what happens during re-sync?)
By the way, it seems to me that def auto_follow_followers doesn't takes into account the do_not_follow_list (if it is enough to do the trick).
My final goal is to create a sort of Black List function: I tried to mess around your code, but obviously it doesn’t work (I don't post here to don't waste space, if you promise me you will not laugh, I can send you).
