Names displaying incorrectly
complete
Fancy
For quite some time now, the name of users who DO NOT own a Decentraland name display as if they do own the name. This allows for impersonation and devalues the names of anyone who has purchased one. Many months ago if a user didn't own any names, their displayed name in marketplace would show as Name#1234. I'd like to see this issue addressed. For additional information please reference ticket-378-fancydcl in the main Decentraland discord. Additional information can be found in the help channel 10/13/2023 at 1:30 PM central standard time.

Thank you for bringing this up! A fix was already deployed.

Thank you Fancy for bringing this forward. I was unaware that someone else can use a name that wasn't purchased by them. I understand if it is fancy#129382 but clearly that is not the case here. There are all sorts of potential issues that I can imagine including what you have suggested. It not only devalues the name but this person through impersonation can say harmful or hateful things which could lead to damaging a personal reputation. I have purchased 35 names believing that those names are for my own use. I hope that this issue will be taken seriously and will be fixed. We don't want to see a phony HP making derogatory statements to a phony PB.

Additionally, this problem persists in the Governance forums/DAO as well. Apologies for forgetting to include this in my original message.
