Notes do tend to be documentation of past badness, but they also hold information about traitor IOUs etc.
Also notes don't generally hold information about someone's character. They'll say if you were spoken to about some sort of badness in the past. They'll give directions like if someone should be banned next time something happens, etc.
I don't really disagree with a long rap sheet causing harsher punishments.
Having one of those tends to imply you're consistently up to no good at the detriment of others.
As long as we trust each other to not add notes to people for no reason, something I personally trust the other admins not to do and something I hope the community at large trusts us not to do there should not be any issue with how notes are currently handled.
Also as conor mentioned, there are people with good notes. It's just that the good people rarely warrant admin intervention.
