Well well well, People can change their names now, user as well as display name. Thats great. How are we supposed to identify users after they’ve changed their name? Somebody called “user1” subscribes. They change their name and the next time they subscribe they’re suddenly called user2. How are w…

Its publicly available data, and / or possibly supplied by users trough an oauth login. How would that violate anything?

It really depends how his system is built and how he handles that information that could cause it to not align with the Developers Agreement. Without any insight at all into why he stores that information, some of the possible breaches could be: Provide a publicly available and easily accessible …

Debating the compliance of another developer’s application might be a little off topic for this thread.

I don’t want to rant too much, but I feel like 2 things should be pointed out. If you want to switch from a username to ID system, why would you not include the ID in EVERY communication that originally had a username. This really just seems like not paying attention to details. v5 isn’t ful…

Perhaps what would be better would be to just change all of the IRC channel names to be the channel ID instead of the channel login name?

That’s a huge breaking change. It would be ideal for developers, but it would also break compatibility with normal IRC clients (and protocol) even more. Nicks cannot start with a number and some clients can’t handle ones that do.

I don’t think @JacobiCarter is talking about nicks, he’s talking about Channel Names. If channel names were ids instead of the streamer’s username, the bigger problem would be fixed. Only one room ever, no need to change rooms when a user changes their username. You were saying that nicks can’t star…
