No, I think [@Ellri]'s point is good. When you see posts by the original creator/former GM, it's important to know what significance they hold. Otherwise, someone who misses that line may think, "What is this player doing talking like s/he's a GM?" It should be something really indicative, like "Former GM" or something obvious that the person is no longer in power, but that makes it easy to tell why there seems to be a deference or a measure of authority to their posts.

Perhaps a banner signifying their importance then? It's actually quite hard to miss those.
