Sorry, I believe my response may have been a little confusingly worded.
What I meant was that Jagex has this on their radar as a bug that needs fixing, but there is currently no timeframe set for when that will happen, as they have informed me it is not an urgent priority for them.
It is definitely not our intention to sweep the issue under the carpet, quite the opposite. Your thread was locked because Jagex are aware of the bug and it is on their list of items to fix, and I believe it had served its purpose.
Since the point of the thread was seemingly to alert Jagex to the issue with clan banners, now that it's been confirmed they are aware of the issue and that it will be addressed eventually, I am not sure what you require the thread for, as I don't know what worthwhile discussion could come from the thread other than to reiterate frustrations on how the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
I realize that this is not an ideal scenario, and that you are frustrated about the bug having persisted for this long, but since it IS being looked at by the team, I still feel that the lock is justified.
However, as always, if you take issue with my moderating decisions regarding the thread, I encourage you to post on the Forum Moderation Review thread about it.
