Send a warning email before a partner/staff claim can occur
I understand Twitch wanting to give inactive usernames to partners (though I think they should release them to general users as well), but there should definitely be some warning notification or reminder sent out to an account owner when it becomes eligible for a partner claim. It seems to be the same 1 year requirement that Twitch had prior to changing their username policy, but there is no documentation suggesting that users log into their account once a year to prevent their name from being transferred since the username policy update in 2024. I do not understand why they don't just state that an account not logged into a year can have its name transferred to a partner instead of "hiding" this behind impersonation/trademarking. It's a very deceiving policy, especially when Twitch claims they no longer "release" inactive usernames. There have been multiple cases (such as with the user /glocc) where an active user has had their username taken away by partner support either by negligence or just them not knowing they were deemed as inactive. A user with an active, paid Turbo subscription (that isn't one of the few lifetime ones that staff get) shouldn't be classified as inactive in the first place. Also there should definitely be some sort of compensation if someone has their username transferred to a partner instead of their case being closed and ignored. A manual name change due to the forced cooldown would be logical.
