I think this is an interesting and relevant topic.  Does the steem blockchain have a place to post metadata when creating a post? Or was this the proposal, that Metadata be added?

The most elegant method would be room to bake in metadata into a post, but in reality we can already do this through regular text will be the future of 2nd layer formating and filtering on the steem chain  (e.g. [Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) currently used as the open source formating language/style sheet across steem). This will become increasingly true as use expands into the other web interfaces to the chain (like i'm using [chainbb](https://beta.chainbb.com/steem-standards/@arhag/moderation-standard) right now).

For certain types of communities to grow on steem,  stronger curation tools are needed. Different types of flagging will allow for creativity in formating. Sites that want to use second layer moderation already have the tools available to them: This can be achieved he same way as metadata for filtering/formating a post, only inserted by a moderator as a reply to a post.

The Steem blockchain does allow arbitrary JSON to be included as metadata with each post/comment. You can check it out by viewing the post with steemd.com or steemdb.com.

Anyway, this proposal is old. And although there is still no moderation functionality on steemit.com, it is in the pipeline with the Communities feature, which I am really excited about.

Can you point me towards a post about the communities feature moderation, and where I can read more about the JSON metadata?

I'm trying to learn more about these discussions, but not sure where the best places to discuss these things.

You can use steemdb.com to view the raw data of a post and explore the different ways the JSON metadata is used by clients. For example, here is a [link](https://steemdb.com/steem-standards/@solar/re-arhag-re-solar-re-arhag-moderation-standard-2017719t161425592z-20170719t204704693z/data) to the raw data for your comment. Scroll down to the `json_metadata` field. Notice that ChainBB reported the app/version in the `app` field. Also a field specifying the `format` of the content and an array of `tags` for the comment are also included. There isn't any official documentation for how JSON metadata should be used (it is not like it is enforced by the blockchain anyway), but various unofficial standards seem to have emerged, mostly by following the usage led by the steemit.com client.

There is a [draft spec](https://github.com/steemit/condenser/wiki/Community-Spec-%5BDRAFT%5D) available for the Communities feature in the wiki of the Steemit Condenser repository. Keep in mind that this is just a draft and things may change with the design.
