Great work I love the versatility of this script but I do have a suggestion would make the bot a bit more effective when searching if it would keep a list of the tweets you already done so it doesn't try to do then repeatly. It can then delete the tweets one the user has been un followed or after x amount of time.

Well, keeping a list of already tweeted tweets isn't exactly useful since they will still show up in search, and when we loop over them, we check if they're already retweeted or "quoted", and if they are, we simply skip it and move onto the next one. So in a way, they're already filtered out and a blacklist isn't necessary since it would merely do the exact same thing (check against a blacklist and skip it). See: https://github.com/raulrene/twitter-contest-js-bot/blob/master/index.js#L78

The idea for cleaning out old tweets is a pretty good improvement idea. There are several other scripts out there that will do this for you, or wipe all your tweets out. I would use them regularly when I ran this bot for a while, but they do lack the "after x amount of time", like you said. That indeed could be useful to make your account not look suspicious.
