This was an interesting post, which I just read for the first time. Thanks for linking it!
I rather think the note at the end should come at the beginning—I read the entire post without understanding this context and was surprised to find it was from 7 years ago, especially since the date at the top is that of this year (though if I looked at the actual link I could of course see the ’2014′ part).
The EA forum team is going to back-date these posts to their original dates so they can be voted on in the review. Would you still have benefited from the note being at the beginning if this post’s date indicated that it’s from 2014?
(On my first few cross-posts, I placed the “hey, this is a crosspost” note as a header, but I noticed it was removed when the forum team backdated the posts; decided to try entering it as a footer instead for my latest batch of crossposts.)
I’m honestly not sure about any benefits once this has the right date, as I did understand who wrote this and where. Then again, I find the whole decade review thing pretty confusing to navigate, so I’m not sure of anything.
Well, thanks for leaving feedback despite being unsure! I appreciate it since this is my first time doing a bunch of crossposts, and I’m trying to figure out a good format.

Oh, ok, thanks for the explanation.
