Topic: What is OP? - page 2. (Read 420 times)
OP is use to address the creator of a topic which means original poster or original post. Initially,the word OP doesn't reflect under the user's name but Power Glove was the one that worked on it to make sure that every thread created by a user will have that word OP to for easy identification of the creator of the thread and when he is replying to contributions by forum members. OP also means original post,which is the topic created by someone which brought up the discussion.
OP - Original Poster
OP: Original Poster (like you explained) or Original Post.OP can be used like two words: Topic and Thread. Many posters don't know difference between Topic and Thread as well as they can differentiate what OP implies for either Original Poster or Original Post. It must be taken in to a specific context.

It simply an abbreviation for the creator of a thread or post. There is no clear meaning to it. Some could call it the owner or originator of a post. The SMF Patch was done by a member PowerGlove last year
The SMF patch was basically to make the "OP" tag visible beside the username of the OP, so that in any page of the thread, users can easily identify who started the thread. But the abbreviation OP simply means original poster and is used across many online platforms/forums, not just on this forum. 
As already cleared above it refers to the person who has created the thread and under new SMF patch developed by @PowerGlove it's now implemented on the forum by @theymos which helps us to indentify the OP when discussion is few pages long.
The simple meaning is orginal poster and many who have been around the forum also sometimes don't have the idea about in what context it's used for but it's good to clear your doubts.Also I will suggest you to lock the topic and you will find this option on the bottom of this thread otherwise it would drag the topic and you have been already answered.

In my few days here in the forum I've come to notice an abbreviation (OP) by the side of the name of some members, it might seems embarrassing that I don't know what it mean but we learn every day, and I believe that there are still new members that still don't know what OP mean as well, so if you have an idea you can go ahead and give a hint about it.
