I hope it prevents shills/bots from making the signal/noise worse, but I think what CTR, et al. are going to do is just have their bots/shills upvote each others' content. That means it could actually backfire and make it harder for authentic users to counteract bot/shill armies. If CTR had Voat in their sites this would have already happened.

It's to stop people from just making accounts to downvote. If you want to downvote you have to be a contributing user (as judged by CCP).
Edit: for what it's worth I don't think there's anything special about ccp and I'd architect it to take the sum of SCP and CCP
