What OP is:
OP status is when a server owner OP's you so you have every single command. This should be widely known.

How you earn OP:
Earning OP status is not easy. You need to stick with the server, be nice to the people of the server, don't get all pissy to people who bother you, don't get the urge to grief someone because they accidentally tore down a tree in your farm, probably because you built it wrong.

How NOT to get OP status.
I'm going to take an example. This is from myself, actually, on SkitScape's server (www.youtube.com/SkitScape). I was the definition of dick. I donated, and went around and griefed everyone because I could fly away quickly without them knowing who it was. I have since changed. I no longer do these things. If your a dick griefer, and you want OP status, well, you need to change. Sure, you may get the urge to grief, but these things get you banned.

What not being a dick gets you:
It can get you more friends, it can get you more enemies, it can get you cats *bark*, it can get you dogs *MEOW*. I hope you enjoyed this blog. I'll be here all week.
