Claim:
1. A computer program product for managing content tags of electronic postings, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to perform a method comprising: receiving a first weighted tag from a first reader of an electronic posting, wherein the electronic posting supports tagging by non-authors of the electronic posting, wherein the first weighted tag comprises metadata that describes the electronic posting, and wherein a first weight of the first weighted tag is defined by the first reader to weight a first relevance level, as defined by the first reader, of the metadata to the electronic posting; receiving a second weighted tag from a second reader of the electronic posting, wherein the second weighted tag comprises the metadata from the first weighted tag, and wherein a second weight of the second weighted tag is defined by the second reader to weight a second relevance level, as defined by the second reader, of the metadata to the electronic posting; summing the first and second weights to generate a summed weight of the first and second weighted tags; in response to the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags being less than a predefined value, automatically prohibiting the metadata from being displayed with the electronic posting; assigning a first summed weight threshold to a first group of viewers; comparing the first summed weight threshold to the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags; determining that the first summed weight threshold is less than the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags; assigning a second summed weight threshold to a second group of viewers; comparing the second summed weight threshold to the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags; determining that the second summed weight threshold is greater than the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags; in response to determining that the first summed weight threshold is less than the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags, displaying the metadata to the first group of viewers; and in response to determining that the second summed weight threshold is greater than the summed weight of the first and second weighted tags, preventing a display of the metadata to the second group of viewers.
