Status: offline 		In this thread, members that choose to do so publicly pledge to make N4G a better place to post. There may or may not be changes in the forums but in the meantime maybe this will help.

Three rules:

1. You acknowledge what you have done in the past that you need to improve on.

2. You state what you plan to do to help.

3. There is no belittling other members in the process. There is no need to even mention other members period. You can say what you have done wrong to another member but not mention them by name.

This is a thread about committal to help the forums.


I'll start off.

Acknowledgement

I used to post flamebating Xbox 360 posts and threads. I posted my dislike for the console repaetedly. It was overkill. I have cleaned up my act in this regard somewhat but I still need to improve.

I got offended by another members statements and in trying to right my perceived wrong, I became part of the problem and posted in the very same way that I was offended by.

How I plan to help
 
I'm not going to post negative comments about other consoles.

I'm not going to become part of the problem in responding to another member or members. If I see something that is against the rules I will report it and let the mods decide.

Status: offline 		I have to prove it still but for those that choose let's give it a try. Maybe we could put the words "Pledge Member" in our locations. A reminder to ourselves and others.

The past while I left the forums feeling bad about my behavior. I'm going to do this even if I'm the only one on board.

I pledge to try to continue to make n4g a better place even though sometimes i haven't done my best

1 I have regretfully posted in other's spam topics when i probably shouldn't have.

2 I hope to continue to try to do my best to be a good member.

3 I have probably insulted some members which i am very sorry for.


Great idea btw!

anyways one of my main faults is enjoying the DS so much that I have to point out how much I don't play the PSP.  I'll try ever so hard to not do that in abundance.

I'll keep posting about games and chat in general and keep it happy.

I don't think I've ever had a comment or forum post removed,reported, or deleted by a mod. That's a good thing, right? (Please don't delete this to get one over on me mods)

Well, I know I'm nowhere bloody near perfect, so I'll improve by keeping in mind that I am better than no one, no one's better then me. I shall also make sure that I avoid derailing threads, as that would be to belittle someone and their needs in favour of my own.

There you go, I'm golden

I plan to help by "continuing" to not choose sides of consoles.

Heh, you've got a point there. I think that's because this forum's a little more laid back than others, since the community's a little more close-knit than on other sites.

I can think of many members that have been a positive influence and good members for a long time but for those like me that need to and want to improve, this thread may help. There have been threads that have stated the N4G forums need to improve. They have been eye openers. I'm just trying to do something positive and proactive.

Well, I can't see this being deleted, it's a genuine attempt, and not in a presumptive of pretentious way,so it's all good

I don't think I'll change my location (I'm proud of being a Brit) but I will make sure I improve, and be nicer overall to my fellow forum-goers.
