That's exactly the sort of shoddy trick criminals would pull whilst conning money out of innocent gamers.
How old is that post? Anyhow, a link that is buried on some irrelevant page is hardly a direct link or navigable from the website's menus.
looks suspiciously like an old screen capture to me. It certainly doesnt look like the official RiS site to me. Anyway Thorn care to add the link to that screenshot? or break down where I have to go in order to find it?
I m willing to face insanity and find that nudget
I am currently sitting at the front page. What do I click from here?
update: boldly going ahead I tried "the pledge" in the search and was rewarded with page upon page of ship sales Cant find the pledge here. Going through the headers and tabs I nowhere see the pledge.

After we reported that they had removed it. They relocated it to here:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/the-pledge
It's no longer prominent on the site; and unless you go to the single article that references it, you won't find it.

Yes but how do get there from the front page? You know just picture a new backer whos eagerly starting to enjoy this grand enterprise looking around for all the goodies to enjoy. I m sure he would love to see this pledge. How does he find it? I KNOW its there I just cant find it when navigating the site. It drives me crazy like an itch at a body part I cant reach ^^

Can you please post the actual steps and clicks you need to do from the RSI website main menus to get there?

You go to the frontier forum and ask someone to give you a direct link, as that's the only way.
Seriously though, I googled a line from that page-view "it's gratifying to see star citizen" which found the page in question. Which does have a working link to the pledge, however the page with the link is https://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/12815-The-Pledge-And-Grace-Period which is commlink 12815 from November 20th 2012. If you try to navigate to that page from the front page there's no direct link, if you go to commlink there's no direct link if you use the search function there you get no results older than a few days. I tried searching commlink for "pledge" and for "12815" nothing from either.
It's a dead link isolated from the website, the only way to access it is to use an outside search engine to look for specific phrases within the page. the only way to know what those phrases are is to have access to the page.
It's dead Jim.

Precisely, the only way to get to it is knowing it exists or knowing its direct link.
It is almost as if CIG wanted everyone to forget about it. And obviously chances are no newcomer will ever find it on their own.

The excuses offered by Ben and his reassurances at the time now seem so laughable.

I personally took the screenshot 10 seconds before I added the arrow in Photoshop, 50 seconds before I uploaded the image, and approximately 70 seconds before I posted the reply.
Great job! But yeah; this is precisely how we discovered that The Pledge page itself was gone. They restored and relocated the link to where it is now.

Yet you couldn't spend 10 seconds to post the actual link. Got it.
Strange, when I go to comm-link and transmissions and enter "the pledge", I get the correct result...

I don't, I just tried that and got some ship adverts and a thing about gifting ships.

Me neither.
The issue still remains that unless you know the link exists at all there is no way to get it at the main RSI site menus. It is to all effects buried and hidden away from the key descriptors of SC at the main menus, where it should probably be as the backbone driver of this project from the start.
My personal guess is that The Pledge must conflict with some of the terms in the ToS or other relevant CIG policies plus it is obviously detrimental of CIG's communication and development practices in many ways. And as such it is a text that probably could do more harm than good to CIG if it was to be featured in a direct and easily accessible manner.

Why not just post the actual link?
Gnorok is right, if you take his steps, then sort for "old" and scroll down a lil you ll find the pledge. Thanks Gnorok for providing an answer to a question which was too hard to answer for others /cheers man
The link to the transmission:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/12815-The-Pledge-And-Grace-Period
Don´t know why you face problems, I just browse to transmissions, enter "the pledge" in the search field, change sorting to "old" (it´s from 2012) and voila...
Regarding "more harm than good"; this is the current text, accessible from the mainpage:
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/about-the-game/community
Do you think that there are some important parts missing?
You have to use the "the pledge" phrase, quotes included. Otherwise you have to fall asleep on the Page Down key and wait until you reach the 2012 archives (edit: or use sorting by date).
