### Comment Tag... Labels!
Early on in September, [comment tags](https://tild.es/63s) were re-enabled. Primarily for experimentation and to see how people would use them. During the coming 10 days, comment tags received a few changes here and there to see what works and what doesn't. Eventually leading up to [the introduction of the "relevance" comment sort order](https://tild.es/6hn).
The relevance sort order was made the default and it's basically the "most votes" order however the comment tags also affect a comment's placement. So if people tagged your comment as "noise" it would become automatically collapsed, off-topic will be lowered compared to on-topic comments, etc.
Then, after another number of days, [comment tags were renamed to labels](https://tild.es/6ue). As well as a number of other changes and even a new, positive comment label entirely. Definitely a topic to read if you haven't already.
### Scraping Data
On the 11th, [scraping data was added](https://tild.es/696) using [Embedly's "Extract" API](https://embed.ly/extract). A plethora of things can be done with it but for now there's only been a handful of additions. Namely, embedding a tweet's content in a topic and showing the published date of an article if the article is 3 days older than the topic.
### Syntax Highlighting
On the 21st, @Soptik's syntax highlighting contribution was implemented and will be a great addition to the style of the site. Especially over in ~comp.
You can find [the merge request here](https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/merge_requests/31) and [the announcement topic here](https://tild.es/6o6).
