Technically dummie Poker Player goes again:

Correct me if I'm wrong both of you:

Poker Player, if you want to add a timestamp to your message, I suggest that you incorporate the block number and the nonce from the last mined block into the message. When you publish the signature/hash of the message, you also publish the block number and nonce that will be in the message. That way, you will have another provable way of confirming when the message was created.

I understand that would confirm that the message was signed at least when that block was mined or after, and not before, but it could have been created after.

Do make sure that the post is / won't be edited; that's just one thing I'd try to make sure of. Or someone archive the page just in case there will be doubts in the future.

That can be seen in https://loyce.club/archive/posts/ and some other page. Messages are automatically archived when they are created.
