Sub-Forum creation/deletion permissions are upside down!

I'm testing a new account, with http://n2.nabble.com/IMBA-UK-Forums-f2158358.html containing 3 top-level Forums.  I really like the clean, minimalist look and the ease of embedding the forum into an existing site.

"Options/Users/Control Anonymous Users" is blocking posting by anonymous users.

But there are problems with Sub-Forums :-

1) Anonymous users can create Sub-Forums ("Options/Structure/Create new sub forum").   I'd like to restrict this to Admin users only.

2) As owner, I can't create a Sub-Forum (the "Create new sub forum" option does not appear).

3) As owner, I can't delete a Sub-Forum that an Anonymous user has created, because "Options/Delete" does not appear (except for the Anonymous user).  A workaround is to use "Options/Structure/Advanced Options/Merge With Parent Forum" and then delete any posts in the parent forum.

Is there a setting I can tweak to fix this, or is it a bug?

Many thanks!
