Have you tried it? It got merged 3 weeks ago and is a bit hidden. You have to go to a user’s profile page, click “More” and then “Edit note”.
I use it to attach the emojis to users that I like, dislike… Users who offer particularly great advice. Users who ask a lot of questions and then ghost everyone in the comments by never engaging with the discussion or follow-up questions. Clowns…
I would say this makes me a bit more at ease once I have a negative encounter on the platform. I can just mark the users and be sure I don’t make the same mistake again. And I make sure to factor in positive encounters, too, so I know whom to pay attention to and invest some time in a good answer. I’m not sure where this is going long-term. In the few weeks I’ve been using it, I randomly had some note pop up and remind me both to be nice, or to ignore other discussions.
Thanks for reporting! I have about 85 of my own, but I’ve been very generous with attaching notes. Guess it’s been a good thing to add an edit button at a bit more prominent place, then. I think those are great numbers for a small extra feature, that wasn’t even hard to implement.
