The wonderful thing about the Internet is that you can get just about any explanation or definition that you look for.
As far as this community is concerned, here's a good definition of "snark."
Snark refers to a concise, clever comment that's referential to something. It's normally jagged, like sarcasm, but it involves more creative thinking than a sarcastic comment does. It can be in reference to something from popular culture, or a turn-of-the-phrase that creates something original from it's source material.
OK, that said, there are some great things that go on in the SCA.
There are some nasty things, some stupid things and some pretty bizarre things.
If you can be can be creative and make sense, have at it!
Just a couple of rules.
1. No name-calling or personal attacks. You should have gotten over that at age 5.
2. Stay on topic. If you have a tangent snark and it's different enough, take it to a separate post.
3. Do not use the phrase "Nazi" in any context. It is offensive.
4. Do not delete your threads or comments. You said it. Live with it. ("Post later" is your friend.)
5. This seems obvious, but don't put up a post with comments disabled. That defeats the purpose.
6. Use common sense
7. At this point, there is no Rule 7, but there might be, pending further discussion.
