    If you send them the message in plain text they have no way of verifying you aren’t just making it up to get someone you don’t like banned. Keeping it encrypted means they know the sender wrote it.

      Only if the sender signed it. I presume the system does that anyway so you can be sure who sent something.

      It could be sent plaintext as long as the senders signature was intact.

        That’s a good idea. Send message > Message signed and sent > Receiver opens message, signature bits are hidden, but clicking report sends plaintext with signature included. Only ends up in report queue if signature is valid.
