Everyone should be able to see a "banned" box (titled "Ban Information") on the profiles of banned people. This box is, however,
not a user note.
Usernotes only appear if you are logged in as a mod or vip when browsing someone's profile.
If you are, then you will see something like this on the profile :
User Notes:

Post User Note]
(Last Note: 19 Hours Ago 11:03 PM)
Only moderators can post user notes. The reason for this is that, in the past, when we allowed VIPs to do so, some VIPs would post inaccurate or highly biased/subjective usernotes, without the required supporting evidence.
If you have a usernote you want to post on someone, contact a mod, and they can post it for you after it is verified to be the truth.
The main purposes of usernotes are :
* to make a note when the mods are highly suspicious about a user but don't have the evidence to ban them yet.
* to make a note when one person has met another in RL and verified that they are who they say they are.
* to make a note when a person gets their username changed to something new
