What is OP?

OP - Original Poster

Thanks for the clarifications. I too for the first time I am hearing this. I had no idea OP means original poster or original post but I assume it to be a tag attached to any post or thread creator as programmed by the forum administrators. I had know for long since I started seeing it attached to new topics but now I can boldly tell what OP stands for. Sometimes it is good to ask questions so as to know and have ideas what your are inquisitive about.

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.

Dear No worries at all i think Learning is a continuous process and it's great that you're seeking clarification. In bitcointalk forums "OP" stands for "original poster." It refers to the person who started the discussion or thread. Embracing a curious mindset and asking questions is how we expand our knowledge and engage with the community. Keep exploring and enjoy your time in the forum

OP, Original poster or Owner of a post, just like you've rightly said, it's placed after the name of some persons, this is In a way to make members easily identify the one who made the post amongst other commenters.

OP means who creates post firstly.
OP the abbreviation of Original Poster/Postmaker

I think we already have lot of discussion regarding this abbreviation so now it's better to lock the topic because it will attract streched discussion without any more useful contribution towards it.So lock the topic as it will be better.

The pinned OP is the Original Poster where he was the first to conduct the Thread discussion, and he is used to greet Topic creators, and in this discussion you are addressed as OP, because it started with you who contributed.

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.


OP, what is it?
Terminology

'OP'
Original Post / Original Poster. This could refer to either the user that started the thread or the first post in the thread. If you are in the hardware section then it could also mean 'Over Power'.

Add it to what you people have said, in the forum context  and also etymological content of the meaning OP are those two meaning of tranthidung but we can also take to the field of linguistics which can mean Operator/Operation or Overall Position. And also OP can be used differently in different field of usage. But as for the forum in different boards  with different uses. Like has tranthidung said.
