I'm a new user, so maybe I need to dig a bit more into what the xp, points, levels, and reputation actually do here. But based on this post from the blog, seems reputation will affect visibility of submissions.
Spamming will also be down voted and thus lowering a spammer's reputation score. This will make it difficult for content to be seen by anyone other than the spammer thus destroying the incentive to spam.
It's not a unique feature on similar websites, but something Reddit didn't have.
I should have quoted a smaller part of that point. I wanted to emphasize the bit about reputation affecting visibility of posts. Reddit had karma, but it didn't (as far as I know) affect the chance a post makes it to the front page or top of a subreddit.
As a matter of survival, all social sites defer to users. Good or bad, is again subjective. If your looking for an agreeable one (whatever the context) , then I suggest no site of this ilk will or should suffice. Someone, out of necessity, is always in control.

"Spam" is subjective. I don't mean to be negative about this site, but is is subject to the same abuses as any other.
