Access restrictions lost?

Two spam messages in a normally spam-free area caused me to review access privileges in the following areas:

<http://n2.nabble.com/catalog/WhoCanViewAndPost.jtp?app=3138168> (parent)
<http://n2.nabble.com/catalog/WhoCanViewAndPost.jtp?app=1653096> (child)
<http://n2.nabble.com/catalog/WhoCanViewAndPost.jtp?app=1653123> (grand-child)
<http://n2.nabble.com/catalog/WhoCanViewAndPost.jtp?app=1658350> (grand-child)

The last two are unrestricted, which I find extremely surprising. Possibly PEBKAM but I very much doubt that I made the chandler-dev forum, where the spam was found, a free-for-all.

Nabble, please, can you triple-check that the recent change to the UI (and the back-end) relating to access privileges is not breaking access restrictions in some cases?

Not only spam; privacy (of private forums) is a greater concern.

Thanks
Graham

Postscript: I have changed the restriction, to members only, on all three of 1653096, 1653123 and 1658350.
