1) That the time stamping of the messages comes from a TSA (Time Stamping Authority). A TSA With API I suppose better. And the TSA guarantee must be visible.
Could you provide a use case (forumwise) where this would be required?
Done in my answer to david63.

2) That the content of the forums has a chain of blocks (a system hash based) that guarantees the existence of those contents from the time the time stamp occurs.
Are you implying nothing can be deleted ... ever?
No.
As I said, there were the basic ideas in the absence of debugging for development.
It is obvious that it is necessary to be able to edit and delete messages, as it is also true that even in forums where this capacity that I propose comes in handy, there may be many messages that do not need to certify the content and the time stamp.
One possibility is to add a message or message chunk to the certified blockchain, only on user demand.

Personal opinion, my own that is
... this idea doesn't need a timestamp from a TSA nor does its permanent existence need to be guaranteed.
Anything needing that kind of "security" shouldn't be on a public commercial server anyway.
Perhaps I misunderstood the whole idea and this is nothing more than an early 2021 April fool's prank.
As I said in my answer to david63, it is not a security issue. It is a content certification issue. It's not the same.
Thank you all.
