AI Thread Summary
OP stands for "original poster" and can also refer to "original post" in forum discussions. The term is commonly used to identify the person who started a thread or the first post in that thread. The discussion highlights the importance of placing such questions in the appropriate forum category, like Feedback and Announcements, rather than technical forums. The conversation also notes that users can learn new things through interactions in the forum. The thread was eventually closed after the initial question was answered.

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".

Ok thanks
 
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.
