Positive mod points increase Karma and vice versa. For people with good Karma, your posts automatically start off at a higher rating (2) than neutral karma users (1) or negative ones (0).
i believe you're a little off there
Excellent gets +2 (you have the option to not include the extra +1 with each post you make)
Neutral /Positive / Good gets +1
Bad / Terrible -1 (anonymous posting disabled)
The extra +1 for users with Excellent karma is actually just a threshold preference for registered users and the set display mode for someone who has not logged in. if you are a registered user it is by default to add an extra +1 for registered users with excellent karma, which you can change (most don't)
