I think the principle is sound, but suggest refining the criteria 
slightly, just to avoid the crowd-sourced nature of the votes themselves 
causing us problems. For instance, set the threshold slightly lower 
(e.g. score <= -5, rather than score <= -1) and maybe keep those with 
"mixed reviews" (e.g. 25 upvotes and 30 downvotes may indicate 
something's going on that's worth reviewing).
