Avoid retweeting a job if that link has already been retweeted.

When a new job gets added to the 80k jobs board, automatically retweet it.

Currently it will retweet any top of thread tweet containing the handle or any tweet that is replied to by the handle. But any tweet subsequently replying to that tweet will contain the handle.

So if * is a tweet containing the handle 1*-2*-3* it will retweet 1* and 2* (maybe 1* twice) when it should only retweet 1*

Likewise if 1 - 2* - 3* -4* it will retweet 1,2* and 3* even though it should only retweet 1.

Message me if that doesn't make sense.

Twitter posts made to a subcommunity can't be retweeted and currently that breaks the bot.

Currently, the bot retweets every message it receives. I'm not sure if/when this will become a problem, but to be safe, we should add in some security in case somebody decides to make it retweet, "Hitler for President". I don't have a definite solution, but here are some ideas:

• Create a whitelist of "trusted" Twitter users who are allowed to use the bot
• Require a certain amount of engagement on the mention before a retweet is made (likes, more than one mention, etc)
• Wait until it happens and have a command to delete bad messages
• Create a blacklist of certain words. This probably won't have any effect, since tweets irrelevant to EA would still be possible
