Users that have gold (or gold charter status) will be able to create and access
gold_only subreddits. Mods will be able to access gold_only status regardless of
their gold status. Approved submitters will not be able to access these subreddits.
To have a gold only subreddit, it must be created as gold only by a gold user or
have admin mode to convert it to gold only (requested via modmail to /r/reddit.com.
There is a default style (gold-only) applied to each gold_only subreddit.
Mods can choose to hide the sidebar adbox for gold-only subreddits. A "reddit gold"
('/subreddits/gold') tab is in '/subreddits' so that gold users can see all of the
gold only subreddits.
Being added as an approved submitter in gold_only and employee_only subreddits
don't allow you to see the subreddit. This will remove the link and ability to
edit the approved submitters so as to not confuse the mods.
