Voting is not moderation. It signals that an article is of interest, not that it is on-topic. AFAIK, you can't vote an article below 0, which means you can't distinguish between lack of interest, controversy, and inappropriateness. With that in mind, accurately assessing if an article is suitable to post is crucial to maintaining a healthy baseline of relevance so we can at least eliminate the latter as a factor.
I don't see the problem with a community originally formed to discuss one issue discovering that all their members are also interested in some other issue and beginning to intensively discuss it. If an article is of interest, why isn't that sufficient?
