Trolling: A poster or post designed to only attack another poster/post without offering any kind of relevance to the topic being discussed.
Flame: To directly or indirectly attack a poster's post or views while at least adding some kind of information in some way relevant to the conversation.
S'narthed: a variation on the term 'Sarnathed', in other forums this would be the same as the term Ninja'd, it refers to being outposted or for someone t post the same exact information you where going to a few moments before your post goes online.
Any other Jargon?

Best bet would probably be the urban dictionary or the encyclopedia dramatica (only go to the latter if you're unafraid of /b/-style BS). Also: http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/

Both Flaming and Troll have a very thin and blurry line separating them, so most times what you see as flame will actually be trolling and vice versa, my explanation is in no way the best but it is the simplest manner in which i think both terms can be explained and not confused with one another.
Anyways dont worry Forum Jargon is easy to catch up on and you can always post a thread asking for anything you dont really know... the community will always try to help out.

A troll, traditionally at least, was a post or even account made just to evoke certain reactions from posters, and is not necessarily a flame. Most of the time trolls would post just to piss people off or make forums angry.
Trolls can be blatant or very subtle, often going unnoticed for a while.
Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.
You probably mean QFT. Quoted for truth. Often used to affirm the validity or strength of a prior statement. Those who just quote and shout QFT often get infracted, so add something of your own if you're going to QFT.
While I know how it's used, can anyone explain to me the origin of "Sarnath'd?" Was Sarnath an unfortunate character from some movie, or what?
He was a poster on MiseTings.com who would post before others could, answering whatever question they had or W/E. Annorex also had a term in the photoshop section. Annorex'd, meaning 'I don't get it' because thats what he would always say.

RTFT means "Read the [insert expletive here] thread." It basically means that the answer to the question asked is somewhere you should have looked already. It may be that it was earlier in the thread. It could be in a rules thread. Something similar.
It's usually "RTFM" for "Read the [insert expletive here] manual", used by techies who are pissed at people who ask questions that the manual already answers.
"They almost cling to them: whereas a groupie just goes faint at the site of their object of desire, these fans just tried to please them and leech off of their fame and success, almost like a lamprey or barnacle."

A flamer, however, just seeks to hurt.

A truly great petition
A user named Sarnath gained notoriety for consistantly posting things that someone else also posted about a minute after him.
Example: I bet I'll be sarnath'd for this post.
Edit: Whoops, I didn't even see the second page of this thread. Ha.
