Those are actually terms I haven't heard used before--though maybe the people I'm cybering with are less cyber conscious than the cool people you hang with :). It seems, with the open comment, that it becomes a two-part speech act. One person poses the action, and the other person must speak acceptance in order for it to become true.

An open comment leaves your partner room to respond to your action without forcing them to accept it. On the other hand, without closed comments, the action would not progress. There is a fine balance needed between the two in order to make cyber roleplaying work.
