Make it possible to swap usernames. It would be cool if you could swap usernames. I for example own a cleaner name than the one I am on right now but I gained like 11K followers on the one with the less cool name. (I wasnt bothered by it at the time but I am now getting to a size where I wanna take it more serious and the cleaner name would be sick). ALSO it would be cool if you could contact someone with the name you want and ask him/her if he/she would be willing to give his/her username to you.

Suspension regarding inappropriate usernames Before suspending users with inappropriate names, could you instead give them a 5 day warning to change? The suspension without warning seems very unnecessary if a person has had it for the longest time and suddenly got suspended. I believe lots of people could stop clogging suspension appeals with this, especially those who aren't genuine trouble makers with their names and people deserve second chances! Especially with usernames, my friend got suspended and there was no clear heads up on their suspension. They were watching a stream and bop! Banned without warning and for having an average name that never…

Have the ability to remove CJK display names Many people did it without thinking and while I agree they should have did some research before setting it to something stupid for it to look cool for like 3 seconds. I would just make a new account honestly if it didnt mean losing so many stuff gained over the years of streaming and chatting and watching people.

After username was changed show an url or redirect the users the new user channel I renamed my user from kozakagamer to kozaka. Everything went fine, just the old https://www.twitch.tv/kozakagamer is not working now (Time machine missing :) ).
So, my idea is, that maybe it would be good, that in case rename an url should be show which points to the new page or the user should be redirected to the new. Maybe just for 60 days?
This way, if an viewer comes over fore example a stored url, and want to find me, he could easily find my channel without any guessing what the new name would be.
Thanx

If someone changes their name dont offer them the EXACT SAME EMOTE PREFIX. If someone goes by NameWasTaken and gets the emote prefix "name1" then changes their name to, say, NameVT, dont 'offer' the 'randomly generated' Prefix of "name1" to them again if they already have it.

reset in the counter of sub donor when changing username I'd like to comment on something that I think it would be nice to have when changing your username, and what happens is that when you change your name the count on the number of subs you have gifted is reset and it's split in two different usernames (your old one and the new one). And, for instance, in the board of leadership of stream elements which is shown in some channels doesn't appear the total of subs concerning your account, and it's split in two as I said before. So, I think you could do something about that because…

Allow us to trade and by names as if they where domain. It is kinda irritating when someone already has the user name you want to use and there is no way to facilitate asking or paying paying for a name trade. I am sure a lot of people that do not actually stream and only watch twitch would not mind too much to give up their name if someone asked for it and even fewer if they where compensated for it. Even those that do stream could probably even give up their name if someone payed enough for them, because names can be important for recognition and people are willing to…

Fix displaying future usernames correctly!!! I short while ago, I have changed my username from “PeenutShow” to “Peenut__” (three underlines).
I was happy with the way the new username would be displayed so I went ahead with the change.Unfortunately, the username does NOT get displayed the way it showed it would. The three “underlines” get displayed with gaps in between like this: “Peenut _ _ _ ”
To me, this is a big deal because those gaps make the username look silly and absolutely not to my liking.
I would have NEVER changed the name if your system had shown the future…2 votes -
Make it more accessible to find the name change option I can't tell you how long I've been trying to find how to change your name on here its honestly been really frustrating. I use twitch currently as a way to watch streamers as I don't stream myself.
I made this account some time ago with an old name i no longer associate with. So I looked it up to see if its possible and I read that it is and how to do it.
So I followed the steps on each site meticulously but to no avail was I ever able to even get to an option of changing…2 votes -
Few Ideas, please read : ) I have a few ideas that I think would be great changes to the username system. To start off I believe the "4 letter" name rule is far outdated I don't see an issue with 3 letter names being allowed, some user already have 3 letter names (I.E. XqC, ABE,Pat,Red) so it's 100% doable. Another change that I think would be great is to allow more characters/symbols in names, such as ( ' - ~ / \ | ) ETC. Including symbols diacritics (e.g. ú, ÿ, ç, å, ē) should also be allowed in usernames, they're already used in other…

Allow us to swap usernames between accounts we own. It shouldn't be hard to swap usernames between 2 accounts if we own both accounts and are linked to the same email. A lot of us will start streaming with a username we may not like and may find a new one and it makes it impossible to rebrand to a new username if we have to wait 6 months for it to go back into the pool. At the end of the day its as simple as changing a username in a database this is something we all have wanted for years. The 6 months "maybe" when it goes…

Différencier les pseudo et les identifiants L’idée serait de permettre de différencier les identifiants des pseudo vus par les utilisateurs afin de se sentir plus à l’aise ou en sécurité. Cela faciliterait aussi sûrement la modification des pseudonymes et plus simplement la casse. Toujours en respectant le pseudonyme déjà choisi etc mis en place.

Remove Cooldown in abandoned usernames I have two accounts and i want to swap usernames. Unfortunately, twitch does not support swap usernames even if you own both accounts.
if I did it the way we have changing username system right now. I will have to wait 6 months for the name I changed released again to available pool IF happens.
They mentioned in FAQ abandoned usernames might NOT BE RELEASED for some unknown reason! Even after 6 months passed!!
we want a guaranteed safe way to swap names easily like Twitter. why we can't do that? just let us swap names like any other website.

alias names having the possibility to have 1-3 nicknames, that are variations/plays upon your normal username, fx org name * 50% + x new stuff, ei, my screen name is skunkelmusen, and some have taken to calling me skunkiepie, skunster etc, would be nice if they were highlighted for me as well

namechange Naam verandering verdienende accounts moet makkelijker gaan.
Voorbeeld: een niet verdienend account (niet partner/affiliate) heeft een naam die een affiliate of partner wil. Dan zou de partner/affiliate een aanvraag kunnen doen voor een naamruil. Dit omdat de partner/affiliate geld verdient voor de twitch site en de non dat niet doet. Zo heeft de verdienende streamer de naam die hij wil.
(volgensmij is dit er alleen voor partners en zou dit voor affiliates ook makkelijker moeten kunnen)

name change Would be very nice to see how many days left of the 60 days until you can change your name again. For me it only appears grayed out and it says "you can change your user name", even though its not possible. I actually think the 60 days have passed as well but oh well!
