Potential issue: if badness is psychologically stronger than goodness, maybe people will strategically vote "not bad" instead of "good".
If that can be solved, I think the system is better than what LessWrong currently uses, both hedonically and incentives-wise.

It would just be nice to be able to take carrots away from people who don't deserve them without hitting them with sticks.

As long as I'm dreaming, it would be nice to also have neutral-agree votes, neutral-disagree votes, and purely neutral votes.

None of these would affect comment score or karma, but they would be counted, and even purely neutral votes would be meaningful information.
