unwritten assumptions around the 'Who Can View & Post?' dialogue

Back in February I had a moment of realisation, and I thought I posted on the subject but I now can't find the message (maybe I lost a draft when my browser crashed). Anyway, from what I recall:
* most of the misunderstanding arose from stuff that's unwritten.
When we look at this lot (without focusing on any detail) —
— are we looking at a bunch of allowances
or
— are we looking at a bunch of restrictions?
(If the user begins with the wrong assumption, then it'll be difficult to understand the effects of AND/OR options.)
Postscript
Is that dialogue a mixture of the two? Allowances in the top part, restrictions in the lower?
