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

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.
