Can you please share what are the tag and "annoying" user, unless this is too sensitive info.
In Flickr settings you can exclude tags or text by putting a "-" in front of the word. Did you try if this can be used to avoid downloading images from this user?

What I don't like about automating this feature is this:
1. It's hard to get this kind of automated logic correct without lots of calibrating and this takes more time than I can afford.
2. This can be made for Flickr, and probably for the other online sources too, but it will be different in every case. Currently Variety makes the search and starts downloading images without really caring about the metadata around each image, which has a different structure for every online source. This means there is not enough support at the moment for basing logic on online metadata, such as "who is the user".
