What is to be OP? Maybe overpowered?
(About the letters near the name)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It stands for "original poster".
 
When used in text it can also mean "original post" (post #1 in the thread). For example, "in the OP, the OP asked what OP stands for" should be read as "in the original post, the original poster asked what OP stands for".

Incidentally, this kind of question should go in Feedback and Announcements, not in the technical forums. I've reported your OP and asked for it to be moved.
