Datriux is long since retired. I'll investigate this in their place.
For reference, your PDA logs for the shift:

It all started late one evening in the dorms. Doe ran in, attempting to find the silver coin he had dropped earlier, desperately needing it as he realized that the Youtool in the arrivals hallway held a pair of gloves still. It was then that he spotted the pAI device sitting on the table. Curious, he picked it up, flipping on the switch. The device gave a low humming sound, its display reading that it was searching for persona- THERE! He had found a personality to download! Doe quickly read the information about the card, but due to a small crack in the screen he was unable to read the name. Deciding that it probably didn't matter, he pressed the download button.PING!"Greetings human, I am SexuBot Version 19g, how may I 'service' you today?"John just stared at the card, openmouthed. He then sighed, pu...

"shit, that cat was delicious. awe crap i'm still hungry" just then Tyler, a Lion, and star quarterback comes around the lockers with a dripping 12 inch rod. he spots jason and says, "hey why don't you come over here and worship my cock?" jason, not wanting to be beaten up by the strongest jock in the entire school gets down on his knees and starts slurping Tyler's monster into his mouth. "oh yeah! suck me hard!" not wanting to dissapoint, jason starts using his tongue to lap at Tyler's balls while using his throat to milk tyler's cock. "get up and turn around pup!" tyler commands. jason complies and starts moaning when tyler positions his spit lubed cock at jason's entrance.

Record correction: 1440 minutes is a day ban, not a 3-day ban. According to the database, the ban was placed on 2018-03-30 23:01:17 and expired 2018-03-31 23:01:17 - 24 hours in total.
Even in the era where WGW was acceptable, if memory serves me correct the exemption for WGW was unique.
From what I understand, it wasn't an open floodgate for reading smut in general whilst being free from all OOC/administrative consequences. I don't think datriux's use of individual discretion in banning you for those messages would have been an admin faux pas liable for headmin overturning had it been appealed then.
That being said,
I will conduct a little deeper research of my own by consulting the Boomer Oracles old admins for extra context around how reading porn/smut over comms was treated back then in general.
As for the note not representing current you, this is how your note panel looks in the modern day:
As a rule we do not accept "I'm no longer like this" appeals because the in-game note panel hides old notes that are no longer immediately revelant.
A note history is still a complete history of your time on our servers and is not something we have ever adjusted because a player claims they've changed. The admin team (at least anyone who has ever been trained by me) only take into account recent and relevant notes when considering issues. Whether you believe me, trust me or take any solace in that fact, the point still stands regardless.
So I will get back to you on whether the WGW clause was an immunity to admin interaction for reading smut or porn over comms or PDA. If it was, I will remove your note and ban on that basis and that basis alone. If reading smut/porn was still actionable back then, then the note and ban will remain.
If the above doesn't play out in your favour, I will concede that the note as it is worded COULD fall under the umbrella of

... notes can be appealed if they match one of the following two cases: ... The note's contents or existence is unjustifiably harsh to the player's standing in the eyes of admins reading the notes.
I would not be open to removing the note on that basis, but I would be open to changing the wording of it to remedy that defect as a measure of good faith on the admin team's part to ensure the notes we do keep on players are fair and accurate. If you have an alternative wording that you think more fairly represents things, I would consider replacing or ways to incorporate it into your current note.
