    We’re reviewing this. Curious how long you think would be ok.

    If an account is inactive, it stays that way indefinitely. If someone requests the name of an account inactive for a time period (at least 2-3 years), the original person is emailed with a warning. They would then have 6-12 months to resume activity or their name would be in jeopardy.

    That being said, there would need to be a mechanic where someone could suspend their account for a time period without being in jeopardy of losing their name. This would aid twitch users that may not have access to twitch because of a military assignment, studying abroad, and other forms of life getting in the way.
