While I get that gatekeeping the prefix is a way to prevent abuse and bypass filters, if the emotes have to be approved anyways, why can't that be one of the vetting perimeters? Once selected as a prefix, make it so that affiliates can't change it for 6 months to a year. It's meant to be tied with their branding, but if they're changing it constantly, then they have no branding so they should be the ones who should suffer for it and should make them rethink their branding more carefully.
I know I'm new to the affiliates program but I didn't think it actually was gatekeeped to this extent. I know this has more to do with the technical aspect of it, such databases updating and bogging down the system etc, but that could be resolved by doing a once-a-day (per region) database update for this specific change.
