What r/sca Is For
This community is for folks associated with the Society for Creative Anachronism, which the public description calls recreational medievalism. It is an unofficial subreddit, not an official organ of the SCA, Inc. The rules tell you to be polite and courteous to others and to respect Reddit's overall site rules, so the room is built around respectful conversation among people who share this interest.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The only published rules are courtesy and reddit-violation. The rule named courtesy requires you to be polite and courteous to others, and respectful even in strenuous disagreement. The rule named reddit-violation says no violation of reddit's overall site rules. There is no rule about promotion, links, or AI content, so you have no stated permission or prohibition there.
What To Post
A good post for a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing here would start as a genuine contribution to recreational medievalism. Share something useful or interesting about the hobby, ask a real question, or join a discussion as a fellow enthusiast. If you have a product or service that fits, mention it only when it naturally answers a need someone raised, and keep the tone humble and courteous. The rules do not give guidance on links or promotion, so treat that as a reason to be extra cautious and lead with value rather than a pitch.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything rude or disrespectful, even during a heated disagreement, because the courtesy rule covers that. Avoid any content that breaks Reddit's overall site rules, since the reddit-violation rule forbids it. Do not imply this subreddit speaks for the SCA, Inc., because the description says it is not an official organ.
