    Just made a similar post!

    Come on Twitch. User name should be random unless you stream. They should make it similar to Youtube! Only the serious stream gets a User ID.

    Please delete any 90+ day inactive accounts!

    There are tens of thousands of accounts are inactive never stream just preventing someone else from using the UserID. This is not fair and especially on a platform where users create and build their identity. The user name is a big thing for a streamer.

    I am requesting Twitch to delete any account that not used for over 90+ days and release their User ID to the public.
