Phase out "pledge" feature #162

Closed eloquence closed 4 years ago

We've been showing 0 pledges on https://securethe.news/ (AFAICT forever), if the pledge feature is not actually being used, we should probably disable it.

Very much in favor of deleting those code paths. Prior to launch, we'd anticipated that orgs with poor scoring would want a stopgap solution to communicate "We're working on it!", thus the pledge functionality. After launch, response was quite positive, and we've seen a large uptick in adoption since then.

Much more interested in ramping up integration of additional sites and regions (#143), as well as expanding the grading rubric (#128) than promoting, or even maintaining, the pledge feature.

Alright, I'll take a crack at this one.
