Specifically with regards to the Gold Membership you can also see the post by the site founder and lead staff at the link below but to quickly paraphrase:
Hello, this is a paid membership for most, but we give it for real persons, if they are very active and good participants of the site. Gold membership does open up a few additional features to members also.
