I sometimes see staff replying to a post that breaks the rules and other times adding a note along the lines of "user has been notified about this post". Is there some sort of pattern behind using one over the other? I find the latter option to be much sleeker in any case.

I've noticed this happening for the past like 4 years and there seems to be no conformity to it. Would be interesting to know, though. Thanks for bringing it up.

Can the Staff of the SMBX forums make a small rule about avatars:
- The small rule should be that you should not use a forums avatar that's currently being used by somebody else as your's without the original owner's approval?
Just saying that because some 10 year old is using my current avatar.

I think your case is one of very few cases where this could apply. In the case of most avatars though, I would imagine they originated from Google images and therefore the rule can't apply.

There's no pattern, just different preferences. At one point the staff agreed that the note thing wasn't necessary, but it ended up going along anyway after a while.

As long as they're not impersonating you there not really much of a point to this. Just ignore it.

Huh. Why was the reply chosen over the note thing, out of curiousity? As far as I can tell, the note is much closer attached to the post (which makes it easier to see which reported posts were already dealt with), doesn't bump the topic, feels less expose-y, makes sure the full message only goes to the user who needed to hear it in the first place and removes something that feels like it should've been a PM from the mod's post histories.

Replies weren't necessarily chosen, but in cases where a mod would do the note thing it was decided that a PM would be better. That decision was made based on if it was anyone else's business other than the staff and that user that they did something wrong, and at the time staff felt it wasn't so that practiced was moved away from. I do agree that it's better than replies because of the specific reasons you mentioned, and I try to apply that however the thing is all of the staff respond to situational things at their discretion and because of this there is no pattern.

Just wondering, what exactly determines if something goes into archives?

If it fits into any of the categories or important enough to archive instead of being locked and forgotten about.

Is there a certain post count that causes a thread to be archived by any chance?

Yeah that makes much more sense since I'm pretty sure most threads get to 100 posts

^
Which is equivilent to 20 posts per page x 100 pages = 2000 posts.
EDIT, 21/05/2018:
So i decided to come onto the forums today, like i do everyday. But something was wrong; when i came to the site it gave an error basically saying the site was "unsafe" and that hackers could steal my data from here... is that an issue on my end, or a problem with the site? (It says in bold at the top, "your connection is not private")

It's an issue with the site. We're currently working on a fix.

Would a return of the SuperMarioBrosX.org forum with some changes be popular?
