They're not that great because they lack any semantics, like: "needs survey", "needs newer aerial imagery", "ongoing construction", describing type of feature (road, building, POI) etc. (Hashtag-like labels would do, as long as local communities would stick to the standard). There was also a suggestion by me and others of optional e-mail notifications for anonymous note makers. Actually, if there were any way to indicate those, we could show them as StreetComplete quests or even as push notifications to willing map users (just like Google does). Then there's also that anonymous person who flooded the hell out of China with not really useful notes in Russian. Maybe a (quite liberally given out, but still giving any hope of blocking abusers) API key for anonymous notes would be a solution?
