Admin-imposed subreddit sanctions for content manipulation 54,550 17,423
To what do you attribute this big drop in sanctions? Pre-emptive strikes? Better monitoring? More spankings? Space aliens?

Actually we think this is just due to fluctuations in spam campaigns (but I'm happy to look into the space aliens situation, it might be a thing) -- that said:
In Q3, we saw that number jump up, as the team was battling with some persistent spammers and was tackling the problem via a bunch of large, manual bulk bans of subs that were being used by specific spammers. In Q4, we see that number drop back to down, in the aftermath of that particular battle.
