Add note when banning user

Title:
Add note when banning user

Area:
journal administration, community administration

Summary:
When banning a user from a journal or community, allow the person doing the banning to add a note about why the account is being banned.

Description:
We're already planning to implement the "Notes about your friends" feature (http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1468 and http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/31726.html), and I'd like a similar feature on the Ban and Unban Accounts page (http://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/banusers), possibly with a higher character limit.

It would probably be most useful for communities with multiple maintainers (banned by mod1 for $reason, banned by mod2 for $other_reason), but I would also find it helpful in my own journal because my memory is crappy.

EDIT: This feature would be separate from Notes. I referenced Notes as a similar feature with page arrangement that I thought would make sense for this reason-for-ban feature. The feature proposed here would be managed and visible only on the Ban and Unban Accounts page. One could still set a Note for a user, separate from the ban-note.

The text-entry area for the proposed feature should probably be headed Reason for Banning or something along those lines. These notes would be visible only to users with the authority to ban other users from the account in question: only the journal owner for personal journals, and only administrators for communities.
