Duplicated Deck credit permanence/visibility

Although duplicated decks credit their source decks in the edit history & in their initial title, it feels too easy to skirt around at the moment. The original deck credit in the edit history is helpful, but feels too hidden.

I’d like to suggest making deck credits on duplicates more visible/permanent either : Make the original title/author in the deck name be fixed/unable to edit out, or add a crediting feature between the deck name & tagline/description that can’t be changed.

I’ve seen frequent instances of either my decks or people I follow be duplicated (based on edit history credit) and passed as the duplicators’ original work.

Another potential suggestion would be to toggle deck duplication/export on and off like how allowing the duplication of a deck’s primer can be turned on/off.

I second the anecdotal evidence here, by the way – I frequently have my lists duplicated without credit and posted to try and gain attention. That being said, I’m not sure this would be foolproof, because even if the original source was permanently attached, users could just go into bulk edit, copy all the cards, and move them to a new “blank” decklist under their own name…
