The server banner looked nice and worked fine on my end. We should add it back.

Support An official server should look official, a banner is part of that look. Shush (talk) 14:09, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Support - great example image, i want it just like that InvalidCards (talk) 14:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Discord has multiple problems with server banners on Android devices currently, the benefits of having the banner do not at all outweigh the issues it would cause. 14:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - There is zero benefit to adding this and none of the functional issues with this feature have been solved in the last 3 years. The scroll resetting still exacerbates the addition of a large section of useless space, as well as it now showing that space first instead of scrolling up whenever you try and scroll up. From a design perspective, you've included quite literally nothing of worth in this proposal, so I don't see how anybody could support in any meaningful way for that reason.

Oppose - Pointless waste of space and mobile Discord still sucks ass -Towelcat (talk) 14:18, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Looks annoyingly blurry with discord zoom below 100% on top of all the other issues still existing FjaraTalk

- Zoom in then? Not sure why we should withhold implementing a feature because you don't use Discord at the normal zoom level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ jayden 15:23, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- Considering nobody has given any reasons to implement besides aesthetics, an aesthetic reason to oppose doesn't seem out of place to me. Discord allows you to scale zoom, a complaint that that scaling makes it look bad is as valid a complaint as any support here, it's not like scaling is some magical 3rd party unsupported feature.

Oppose - The banner has usability problems on Android mobile, and since there's no way for individual users to disable the banner I have to oppose. For clarity, the problematic behavior is what I call "scroll priority":
Suppose the red dot is my finger dragging down the channel list. Even though I'm at the bottom of the list, the banner gets pulled in every time I move upwards. This wastes the first part of my scroll action and blocks about 20% of the viewport on an already limited screen size. This behavior is actually really interruptive when switching between channels quickly - if you have an Android device I highly recommend demoing it on a server that has a banner (like official RS).
I don't find the aesthetic change worth this trade in usability for 60% of our mobile users. Riblet15 (talk) 18:33, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - As much as I think having a banner would be nice, as an android user, I have to oppose per Riblet. BlackHawk (Talk) 18:44, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose – It doesn't really add anything notable while I think any server looks cleaner without a banner, aesthetics clutter just for the sake of it. It also comes at a cost of vertical space, especially on Android. --julia talk 18:50, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - I really wanted to like this, but the implementation on mobile is so, SO bad. When I closed the first thread about this, I was hoping that the Android issues would get fixed and we could try again...but it's actually gotten worse in the last couple years, not better. Bummer TBH. ʞooɔ 18:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Regrettable oppose - Per Cook. I really like it on desktop, but I can understand why we wouldn't want to implement a feature that worsens the user experience for certain people, for something that provides no benefit outside of being aesthetically pleasing. I like pretty things, but this will have to wait until Discord fixes their stuff — if they ever decide to. Owl (t | c) (osrsw) 19:27, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
Closed - a server banner won't be added to Discord. Technical issues with the banner remain. Isobel talk page 12:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
