They say restricted if the area requires a user to be logged in to
access. Flags currently dont have any effect on the areas via web, you
will need to list the area as unavailable on the web.

The way things work on the website is there is no way with the current
set up to see if a user is logged in without prompting the user to
login. So, I cant make a test to see if the user is logged in and if not
hide said areas, so I just listed them as restricted, then if a user
attempts to access the files that is not logged in it will prompt for a
login or give a 403.

By making areas unavailable via the web, this does not effect the web
download option in the bbs.
