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.

I have used User Notes, but I'd like to remember to use it more, especially for users like this.

The sad thing is, at the minute, the space is so small that I can usually just recognise the users that I'd otherwise tag just by their username.
