On February 11, 2022, Twitch announced that it would tighten its username policy to achieve its goal of 'making it a place where everyone can spend their time with peace of mind.' In the new policy, the NG expressions included in the user name and display name include 'things that refer to recreational drugs, hard drugs, and substance abuse (excluding alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis)' and 'sexual activity, genitals, and sexual fluid.' Two kinds of 'things' will be added.
Specifically, in the following, hard drug-related items are 'explicitly referring to recreational drugs or psychotropic drugs (peyote, etc.)', 'explicitly referring to hard drugs (cocaine, heroin, stimulants, etc.)', 'prescription'. 'Public beautification of drugs and drugs that have a harmful effect on the human body (including regular use of inhalants)', sexual activity-related 'user name that refers to sexual activity regardless of explicit or implicit' 'explicit sexuality 'Usernames that suggest agitation,' 'usernames that refer to genitals and fluids,' 'those that refer to sexual infectious diseases and other sexual trauma,' and 'those that explicitly refer to abnormal habits' are newly prohibited.
Below is a list of all prohibited categories, including these two.
Considering the trouble of changing the user name, this tightening will be enforced on March 1, 2022. Usernames that clearly violate the policy will be removed, but if the newly added policy name is violated but the community guidelines are not violated, use the newly provided 'Username Change Tool'. It will be temporarily frozen until the user name is changed.
Also, when creating a new user, user names that violate the new policy will be disabled by machine learning. However, Twitch states that 'machine learning is not perfect' and acknowledges that policy-violating usernames may be used when creating new ones, and will report any such usernames found. I am urging the user side.
Regarding the tightening of the user name policy this time, Twitch explained, 'In short, the user name is very important in Twitch.' 'A username is a text avatar in chat and an important element of creator's channel branding. A username is searchable and visible throughout the site. Given that it's used throughout the Twitch channel, users I think the name must follow more universal and higher standards than other places where people express themselves, such as chat. '
