Most people behave reasonably regardless of "the rules." Some people behave unreasonably regardless of "the rules" and some people try to use "the rules" to justify their unreasonable behavior.
As far as rules go, what you have is fine. Could probably be better, could certainly be worse but it's not worth worrying over because the real job of a mod (and the real expectation of a member) is not rigid adherence to a set of perfectly crafted sentences, it's ensuring reasonable behavior over time within the context of given topics.
"Low intensity" trolls who continually push the limits of the rules without ever blatantly overstepping them are more dangerous to a community than someone who comes in drunk one night and flames someone once in a serious critique thread.
