You can concentrate on thinking block algorithms.
Function around livechat is based on my pytchat script.

• No Scraping, no Selenium, no BeautifulSoup.

Install

pip install pytblocklib

Example

from pytblocklib import Watcher
import time

w = Watcher("video_id")

NG_WORDS = ['NG_WORD1','NG_WORD2']
blocklist = []

w.start()

#Start checking loop
while w.loop():
    #Get chat list from buffer
    chats = w.get_chats()

    for chat in chats:
        if any(ng_word in chat.message or ng_word in chat.author_name  
            for ng_word in NG_WORDS):
            print("Found :message-`{}` by {} ".format(
                chat.message, chat.author_name))
            #Block user by specifying author channel id.
            w.block(chat.author_id)
            blocklist.append(chat.author_id)

    time.sleep(3)

#Example: Unblock all blocked users (only available during executing script)
