Plaintext is zero security.
Self-signed is a low probability of security.
Signed is a high probability of security.
This continuum makes more sense than the current state of affairs.

If someone forwards plaintext, it's called a proxy.
If someone forwards encrypted content on behalf of my server, it's called man-in-the-middle attack, and they should not be capable of doing it without the huge red flags.
Self-signed is a significant probability of man-in-the-middle attack.
