I would like to say how disappointed I am that some of my favorite streamers are leaving mixer for twitch, however upon talking to them, the twitch affiliate program is a very common reason. I think it's time Mixer has one of their own.

This would allow streamers to work towards a middle ground, unlocking the sub button and potentially getting 1 custom emote so viewers are also rewarded. Upon doing this I could understand requirement for partner potentially going up to 1,000 followers while the affiliate program requires 500, and instead of affiliate call it Mixer buddies, Mixer Arc, or something to differentiate it from Twitch.

Not only does this allow streamers to feel like they can achieve goals in a step by step climb, but also the Twitch streamers who are on the fence due to the lack of this 1 feature would feel more inclined to make the switch or come back if they were here before.

If this idea is considered I can even break it down even more on how this can be a success for both streamers and mixer themselves. Thank you for the consideration!

(No this is not a repost of my support ticket). Hello, recently I asked for the name "Wrath" on mixer.com since my current one is "wraths" and I was told that I can only get the name if I own youtube.com/user/Wrath
or twitter.com/Wrath (must be verified), or I own twitch.tv/Wrath (must be partnered). The person that owns Wrath has never used their account. They just sniped the name Wrath and never used it (which tells me they're trying to sell the account). With those requirements, if someone named Crown, for example, has a YouTube channel named CrownYT and they want the name Crown on mixer.com, they would have to spend hundreds of dollars to get the YouTube domain just for the name on a streaming platform smaller than Twitch. If he had to pay $500 for youtube.com/user/Crown in order to obtain mixer.com/Crown, but he also had the option to just buy twitch.tv/Crown for $400, he obviously would just forget about you guys and go to Twitch. With the current requirements, getting cool names on here only appeals to those that already own the name that they're asking for.

With this example and my background information, here is my suggestion:

Users that are level 30 or higher (which requires several hours of watching) should be able to claim names that aren't being used. (This will be the 4th way to claim a name). However, they may only claim names that belong to level 1 users that have not been used or have been used for less than fifteen minutes.

Thank you for reading and if this gets implementing, all I ask is that I get the name Wrath.

Thank you,

Wrath

I was talking to Mixer supports and thought I post this. How do you feel about inactive usernames/accounts?

I am writing this and you guys should know about the overwhelming support behind this as the Mixer team should be able to see everybody talking about inactive usernames being taken you know by accounts that have never been used. The problem is not the problem, the problem is Mixers attitude towards it I believe. I would suggest sending a message to inactive accounts that are level 0 on Mixer and tell them they will loose this username/account if the Mixer account remains inactive and has not been used by this date. I know a lot of passionate people that won’t stream on your platform because their username/brand username is taken by a level 0 inactive account. People may just go to the bigger platforms if they don’t want to change the username. I really just want Mixer to address this and tell the people if they have any plans for inactive usernames/accounts. -Thanks
