Suggestion: user tagging

It'd be nice to be able to tag certain users with a color, emoji, or text. It would help with noticing users that have been helpful/friendly, or users that post certain genres of content.

Editing a user note is currently done via the user's profile page (in the More dropdown). I just tagged you as "Photon Dev" and now whenever I see your username, that will be diplayed alongside. So, now I see this in this community:
