Consider mocking:

showing that you think someone or something is stupid

(Macmillan Dictionary)

Or sneerer:

sneerer: a person who expresses contempt by remarks or facial expression

(WordNet)

Depending on the context, elitist might fit as well. An elitist community may flaunt its superiority by being unfriendly or mean to newcomers (hence sneer at their questions, ridicule, etc.).

A number of words (besides the fine ones suggested by A.P., above):

  • supercilious

  • belittling

  • contemptuous

  • arrogant

  • unkind

  • overweening

  • condescending

  • haughty

  • snob, or snobbish

  • pompous

  • pretentious

  • highfalutin
