No note appeals, this is a flag appeal sub forum, a note is a way of staff marking things about a user for other staff to see. A person can be noted for anything and serves as proof they have been informed of a rule already, preventing them the ability to claim ignorance should they break it. Notes can also be put for non rule break related things.
If a note is truly invalid or inappropriate you can make a support request ticket to have it removed, but in this circumstance it's unlikely as you admitted it occurred, whether it was intentional or not is irrelevant, it serves as a marker for the future that you have been already informed of the rule's existence, meaning if you find yourself in the same situation you can't claim you were not aware the rule existed.
