Account Management: Usernames / Display Names

JUMP TO ANOTHER FORUM

(thinking…)

Free Up Banned/Suspended Usernames that do not have offensive names.

Many usernames are banned on Twitch for no known reason. After a while, those suspended accounts should be released so that content creators can get a chance to use them for their branding. For example, the username "fairy" was made partner before it was banned. It would be very nice if a content creator could have that name.

    I completely agree with this. The username I want was banned in 2014 (nearly 10 years ago). It was not a partnered streamer and the name is not offensive. I wish they would reconsider recycling banned usernames.

    Yep. Fraile_negro, my username, is currently banned for no reason

    Many usernames that have been long banned/suspended are names that may be very desirable for creators' brands. Please free up these names after a duration so that creators who resonate with them can have them!
