18 months. Give warnings every month starting at 12 months.

I'd have to say about 2 years with warnings every month from 18-23 months and maybe a warning once a week in the last month.

18 months with an email notice of removal after 1 year. Sounds fair.

1 year. Give notice at 10 and 11 months. And clear any remaining Justin names which can't be used.

I think it would be a great idea to free unactive name after about a year the user don't connect to his account.

So here's my idea, after maybe 12 months without logging into the account an email gets sent to that user asking them if they want to keep the account or if you can delete it, if they don't reply at all after a month(?) you delete it anyways.

A year of inactivity should be enough to warrant the deletion of that account and the freeing up of the username attached to said account.

I feel that after a year of inactivity, message the account twice.Once at the beginning of the month and once right before the end.If they don't respond by the end of the 30 days, then you can deactivate the account.

or if the account is inactive, as in, never used in chat, or even logged in to

There should be a request system to request the taken username, if that username has not been active for 1 year, and has had no new followers, subs or videos in that time period, it should be given to the requester, if it is the username of an old streamer and they decide to come back after a year and finds their username has been taken, there should be a system to request it back, then the same goes again, but maybe 1 week if the original requester has no new followers, subs or videos, the original owner will be given their username back, this seems like allot of work, but could work

I've been dying for a user name thats never been used and has had 0 Followers And 0 Videos since it was on JTV. There's a lot of names people would definitely love to get their hands on \ o /
I think 1 Year of no login or any activity would be a good rate.

I agree, having inactive usernames only takes up name that we could otherwise use on active channels

I personally wouldn't be upset if my name was reset after a year of inactivity. It would be best to leave names for as long as possible though, and only remove them from people (that qualify) if someone requests the name.

The problem with that is, how long do we wait? What if an old Twitch user decides to come back, but suddenly find their name is gone? I don't think that should happen, however, I do think that JTV usernames should open up, and any deactivated accounts should become available again.

I am quite fond of this as I have re-made my account twice due to the name I really want is taken and have NO form of activity on it. Basically I have been forced to use something I don't want. If this would go through and accounts within a reasonable time were deleted/released i would be one of the first to do a personal request to change my name. (1 letter variable)

I do understand that paid name changes could be a big problem. But with JTV closed and all the old usernames inactive. Why not free those up? I would start my stream fresh again if I could have the name I wanted originally from the JTV days.

Freeing up all the Justin.tv usernames would be cool as well, since they can no longer be used.

I think this is an interesting idea. I think it would be good for already developed personalities looking to create a hub on Twitch but some troll already took their name.

I'd definite have the system send the user an e-mail a week before deleting the account, though.
