Let Partners Keep Old Names
It's stated that Partner Support is allowed to help with ONE name change, and nothing else after that. As well as previous partner names not being re-released into the cycle of usernames for people to have. What I don't understand is, if these names are not being re-released into the public, why can't I have my old name back or have support help me change my name back? It just seems very silly to have to jump through 100 loops to have a name I used for nearly 2 years back if they're not going to release it anyway. Even if the restrictions are tighter (longer wait time to switch between names, x amount of names can be saved for a specific person, etc.) I'd just like my old name back and I feel silly that I can't have it even though no one else can either.
I tried reaching out directly and was instructed to make a UserVoice for this. I feel a bit silly, as it doesn't feel as important as many of the other UserVoices on here that deserve attention.

very weird affiliates and non-affiliates can change their names and use old usernames but partners are not allowed to...

Twitch, this is a very silly system. If no one else can use their old name and they changed their mind and want to go back you should let them. There's no valid reason to not let a streamer have a previous name that no one else can use anyway.
