Bot retweets posts from blacklisted users #18

I have been trying to use this bot but it keeps posting stuff from obvious bot bait accounts that I have commented in the program. example: bannedusers = ['bot', 'spot', 'lvbroadcasting', 'jflessauSpam', 'bryster125', 'MobileTekReview', 'ilove70315673', 'followandrt2win', 'lizzyc666', 'spam', 'obeytbo', 'jflessauSpam', 'buffcoatnbeaver', 'feryooit', 'traunte', 'jflessauSpam', 'skeletalreality', 'ericsonabby', 'bradan', 'bot', 'spot', 'lvbroadcasting', 'andrt2win', 'followandrt2win', '_aekkaphon', 'botspotterbot', 'bryster125', 'exileoreos', 'realb0tspotter', 'jdiamon655', 'yoshi8080_ebook', 'vesncda', 'dmbuttstuff', 'chicaned', 'ilove70315673', 'nezzyknow', 'win_hq'] my account will still post things from the accounts i have listed.

@BKnot Only lizzyc666, traunte, skeletalreality, ericsonabby, _aekkaphon, botspotterbot, realb0tspotter yoshi8080_ebook, vesncda, dmbuttstuff and win_hq are accounts that still exist and out of those only the bolded ones appear to be posting fake giveaways. So, in my list I would only include those three. Another issue is that blocking win_hq would limit your ability to retweet actual giveaways. To make this easier, I'm going to add the bolded accounts to the blacklist so you can just clone the repository again, update your API keys and start retweeting.

Edit: Just for reference the root of the issue is probably the duplicate listings.

the 'followandrt2win' account definitely still actively posts fake contests (and they get posted by this script)

after some testing this morning it already RT some posts by jflessauSpam as well

I also noticed that blacklist users get retweeted, without any duplicate listings in my list. Is there something I can do about this?

robbiepee commented 6 years ago

Yeah, it's doing this for me too.

I'm pretty sure that the loop that checks through the list of accounts is wrong
