Comment (by manfcarlo):
I think the pre-existing behaviour (any user able to delete any note) is
correct. If someone leaves a note with profanity or personal attacks, or a
typo, it should be easy for others to delete/correct without having to
contact someone with higher privileges. If someone is maliciously deleting
or changing other users' notes, they would be better off having their
editing access to the whole post revoked.
