For example, on servers that use carpet mod, those bot-player's statistics will contaminate existing data in leaderboard such as "play_time":

So, I think it world be great if a blacklist option for "player" argument is availble in configuration file, which seems like:
[query]
player_blacklist = ["playera", "playerb", "bot_*", "*_bot"]
and it will be applied to each query to filter certain players out of the result.
