There’s a button when creating a thread which says “OC” with no further explanation. I’ve seen “OC” noted to the left of thread titles, presumably because somebody has ticked “OC”. What does it mean??!

        It’s a way to say “the person sharing this is also the person who made it, and didn’t just find something someone else made and posted it because they liked it or felt that it was relevant or shareable”. Like if you’re in a band and post one of your own songs, that’s OC. If you post a new song release from a band you like, that’s not OC.

        As opposed to ‘someone sent me this meme and I thought it was funny so I’m submitting it here’
