I prefer a system that supports transparency while empowering users. Partly because of the mechanics, and partly because of the tools available to users, I've never had a problem nixing or avoiding spam or chronic low quality links/comments/users/ etc. Of course the question remains, does this hold true if it scales? I've given my views in that a few times in the past so won't again here.
