FYI
Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
You are not alone ...
We ALL understand, your frustration ...
I would humbly venture to suggest, that at some stage, we have ALL suffered from such ...
[ Of course, some MUCH MORE, than others ... ]
Now ...
That Said ...
UNFORTUNATELY ...
'Yes', the availability/accessibility, of "Records", in 'FamilySearch' ... 'come and go' ... on a regular basis ...
[ ie. There one minute ... gone the next ... ]
Please be, aware; and, advised ...
That 'FamilySearch', ALREADY does provide, "Articles", on the possible, ACCESS, "Limitations"; and, "Restrictions", regarding the various "Records" in 'FamilySearch'.
Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
Why did some historical records disappear from FamilySearch?
Why are there access limitations on Historical Records?
What are the image restrictions in Historical Records?
So ...
That Said ...
For the vast MAJORITY, of the "Records", in 'FamilySearch', 'FamilySearch' is NOT, the "Record" Custodian.
The "Record" Custodian primarily governs; and, is more often than not, responsible for, the ACCESS, "Limitations"; and, "Restrictions", placed upon THEIR "Records" in 'FamilySearch'.
'FamilySearch', is bound, by the MANY "Contractual Agreements/Arrangements, between, 'FamilySearch'; and, the MANY various "Record" Custodians.
Of course, there are OTHER matters, that MAY also govern, the ACCESS, "Limitations"; and, "Restrictions", regarding the various "Records" in 'FamilySearch'.
I am certain, that 'FamilySearch', would LOVE to make, ALL of the "Records", it "Holds", FREELY available (and, accessible) to ALL; but, unfortunately, such can not always be the case.
Plus ...
As, I previously advised ...
The ACCESSIBILTY, to the many various "Records", in 'FamilySearch', can 'come and go', on a REGULAR basis.
The ACCESSIBILTY, to the many various "Records", in 'FamilySearch', is subject to those "Contractual Agreements/Arrangements; which, generally "Expire"; and, NEED to be "Renewed"; where, the "Record" Custodian, is at liberty to "Set" (or, "Change") ACCESS, "Limitations"; and, "Restrictions", placed upon THEIR "Records" in 'FamilySearch'.
Such happens ... And, very often ...
Just my thoughts.
I know, that this certainly may not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.

I wish someone would tell us who to contact or petition in Guatemala to get the images of Cedulas released again. There are thousands of adoptees who would like to have access to them find invaluable information on their birth families.
