From Bibliotheca Anonoma
Definition[edit]
The Original Poster (often abbreviated OP) is the user who creates a new thread on an imageboard. Subsequent replies frequently address the thread starter simply as "OP."
Usage[edit]
- Used to request clarification: "OP, got any updates?"
- Sometimes employed sarcastically when blaming the thread starter for low‑quality content.
Responsibilities[edit]
While not enforced by software, OPs often provide additional information, answer questions, or update the thread as events unfold.
