Just the chatting part; the rest is pretty clear. For starters, I'm pretty sure the average person doesn't know what "instantaneous dyadic conversation or a synchronous conference" means, though they might have a rough idea. I've always found when explaining things to others that reducing things to the simplest terminology and most descriptive methods possible helps, especially when you don't know the people you're addressing; assuming everyone is as smart as you doesn't always work out. Also, you need to be clear how many minutes/hours between posts is acceptable instead of leaving it vague - one might be online, see a notification of a new message pop up, and respond to it immediately out of politeness and then get banned for doing so otherwise. Furthermore, you might also be a great deal more descriptive on what kinds of sentences are allowed and what are not in a message post. I do agree that it would make things simpler all around if the rules were as clear as they possibly could be, though I'll go ahead and warn you there will probably be backlash for not specifying this sooner - not from me, of course, because it was my idea :)
