"-1 Citation Needed" seems like you're trying to turn the moderation into a measure of truth. It's not. It's a measure of the interest/insight/humor/flamebait to the mods that day.
We don't need mods to become another comment system. Let the comments flow, but keep the mod buckets narrow.

I disagree. Moderators already are evaluating the comments for veracity. They just don't say so explicitly. We've all had comments moderated down because someone disagreed with them or thought they were wrong. Furthermore, I would rather a factually wrong or unsupported comment get moderated down than have a half a dozen responses correcting it.
If you only get 6 mods, which would you choose?
I think 6 is too few but if I had to pick just 6:
+1 Interesting (I'd drop Insightful and Informative because they are used interchangeably) +1 Funny -1 Inaccurate
Easy (Score:5, Insightful)
More poines.
Oh, and more selection on the moderation. -1 Insane and +1 Really Insane and -1 Fanbois and +1 Well Played, Sir
More mod options (Score:3)

I'd add: -1 Inaccurate, -1 Misleading, -1 Citation Needed, +1 Citation Provided, -1 Whoosh!
