Please also review our SoylentNews Moderation Guidelines.
As always, we are willing to make changes to the system, but please post examples *with* links to any cases of suspected mod abuse. It's a lot easier to justify changing the system when evidence is in black and white. I also recommend that users make serious proposals on changes we can make. I'm not going to color the discussion with my own opinions, but as always, I will respond inline with comments when this goes live, and post a follow up article a few days after this one

Last I checked, the points were:
0 - Normal, Disagree
+1 - Insightful, Interesting, Informative, Funny, Touche, Underrated
-1 - Overrated, Offtopic, Redundant, Flamebait, Troll, Spam
At times in the past, Funny has given the post a +1 but not given +1 to karma, I'm not sure if that's still true.

Funny is how you stated still, and spam gives the modee -10 karma hit. Also Underrated and Overrated do not change the modee's karma and are only allowed to a post that has already been moderated.
All other mods give the same karma as the points.
