Any updates?
aside from the point, that they actively choose to lock new users out of content?
at this point in time [this topic is already over 3 years(!) old] you can say,
that they are either incapable or unwilling of changing these issues ... or they simply don't care
i don't expect, that they'll ever allow people acces to the blocked content ...
and, honestly, at this point i'd already prefer, if they just stop their stupid "oh, oh, but we're trying, but we can't find anyone, but we'd like to once we find" and just say honestly: we don't care and won't change it, it's funny to lock ppl out of content ;)

You can contribute and become Builder, which also gives you unlimited tag searches.
If you don’t want to put in the time, you can also try your luck at one of the Platinum raffles, which were started specifically because Gold is currently unavailable.
You were told all of this a year ago, when you said the same things you are now.

How much one must do to become Builder?
Going to quote HyphenSam's explanation from a few months back (forum #330734)

Tag gardening is adding and changing tags to posts. One useful way to garden tag is to remove deprecated tags from posts and add more applicable ones. Have a look at topic #30163.
Artist entry updates is updating links for artists. Look at artist #202098 and see the links they have. Some artists may have missing links, so updating them is a useful contribution.
Becoming a builder is not something you ask for and isn't automatic. An admin manually promotes users every couple of months or so, and we call it a promotion wave.
I've now since uploaded uh (checks) 1.3k images, but at the time I got builder after a month without any uploads. My main focus points were updating links in artist entries & submitting BURs to consolidate dupe artist entries, cleaning out deprecated tags, adding chartags to character_request -copyright_request, seeing if I could add artist tags and/or entries to artist_request -non-web_source, and just fixing things wherever else I encountered issues when browsing. I find it helps to pick a fandom or two you're a relative expert on and see how you can help out with the posts for it on the site.
