| Dec 31, 2017 at 14:13 | comment | added | Hot Licks | The original poster is "Opie". | |
| Dec 31, 2017 at 10:37 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | But for some reason they are upvoting the OP, the question is not, in my view, particularly worthy. I hope when Vyren returns online they will uncheck the green mark, but in the meantime, I'm casting my vote to delete the accepted answer. | |

It's worth pointing out that unless the OP (i.e. @Vyren) decides to ‘unaccept’ an answer, the user who posted their question, cannot delete it by themself. Scott has supplied a poor answer, with no references or support. It also completely fails to mention that OP stands for Original Poster and Original Post This means that users are downvoting and upvoting the best answer to show just how wrong Stensland's answer is.

| Dec 30, 2017 at 23:48 | comment | added | IS4 | In my opinion, you should refrain from using "OP" or other ambiguous abbreviations. At least on StackExchange, use "question" and "questioner" respectively. | |
| Dec 30, 2017 at 22:22 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Oh wow, the older question had nothing in common with this question, except for two letters "op" which is a shortening of "operation" not an initialism. | |
| Dec 30, 2017 at 22:07 | comment | added | GEdgar | In most cases you can tell from the context whether "original poster" or "original post" is intended. | |

| Dec 30, 2017 at 21:58 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | Since this is a perennial question both at EL&U and across the Web, I think it is useful for the question to be asked and answered on this site. It is not related (as far as I can tell) to the claimed duplicate "'It was my op' what does it mean?" that was originally cited as grounds for closing it. | |

| Dec 30, 2017 at 19:15 | comment | added | Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_ | The answer in the the marked "duplicate" deals with op as short for operation, and not actually a dupe. However, I am not sure if this question belongs here or in meta. Vote for reopen. | |

| Dec 30, 2017 at 18:16 | comment | added | Vyren | I'm uncertain in what way this was marked as a duplicate of “It was my op” what does it mean?. As far as I can tell, they're two completely separate questions. | |
