This topic is still marked as "Looking for Feedback" so here I go.
I like the Streamer-versary idea, but unfortunately I probably won't be able to use it this year. I was late to the party and only heard about the feature from another streamer a couple days ago (oops), and I didn't have the full details.
Subsequently, I did not realize the event would auto-launch an entire 24 hours in advance of the actual anniversary date, and mistakenly assumed I would be able to reschedule to anywhere in the two-week window as long as I did it before the actual date of the anniversary itself.
My affiliate anniversary is tomorrow. My intention was to schedule a Streamer-versary celebration event for early next week so I could celebrate my affiliate anniversary on my actual birthday. Instead I discovered that the event was already in-progress and could not be cancelled. I did not stream today and I most likely won't able to stream tomorrow, so I'm going to miss out entirely. No fun party hats for my community. :(
I reached out to support and was advised that no mechanism currently exists to stop the event once it has begun and there is also no way to reset it, so I will have to wait until next year to use this feature. That's kind of a bummer.
Although it's partially my own fault for not being fully informed, I'm sure I'm not the first person to make this mistake and I probably won't be the last.
To prevent this, I would strongly recommend that the event be changed so the streamer (or a mod) must manually start it themselves to begin their 48 hour window, either by clicking a button on the creator dashboard or the stream manager page. Maybe you could do a temporary, un-hidable tile or banner in the stream manger page that generates a message along the lines of: "Your Streamer-versary is [DATE]. You have from [eligible start date] to [eligible end date] to celebrate! Start now?"
In addition, I'd like to echo the sentiments of others in this thread about what a Streamer-versary is. I agree that the Streamer-versary should be the first day we streamed, and that an Affiliate-versary or Partner-versary should be a different event.
