MODERATOR BRIEF

Ask permission before dropping a Ledger link.

A rules-first brief for group admins, page moderators, forum hosts, and civic discussion spaces that need one useful source route without link spam.

When the destination has community rules, the reach win is approval plus relevance, not raw comment volume.

First stepask

Ask a moderator before linking in guarded groups, political pages, research forums, or high-volume threads.

Allowed share1 link

Use one exact answer page or source-map route that fits the thread. Avoid homepage drops.

Fallbackno link

If outside links are barred, summarize the source path and invite readers to search the Ledger name directly.

Counted resultapproved

Count only moderator-approved, visible posts or comments with a saved URL and referral signal.

PERMISSION ASK

Give moderators the decision first.

Use a direct ask before posting in groups, guarded pages, research forums, or any room where outside links are limited.

Copy the ask

Hi [name], I publish Inner Circle Ledger. A thread here is asking about Epstein-file source routes. Would it fit your rules if I post one direct answer-page link with disclosure and the caveat that a name mention is not proof by itself?
RULE FIT CHECK

Six checks before a link appears

Skip if one fails
01

Question fits

The thread is asking for records, official release points, dates, document IDs, source context, or caveats.

02

Rules allow it

The group rules allow outside resources or the moderator gives explicit permission for one relevant source route.

03

Disclosure is clear

The comment says the poster publishes Inner Circle Ledger and frames the page as a source map, not an authority claim.

04

No mass posting

The same link and text are not repeated across unrelated threads. Use the page only where it answers the current discussion.

05

Claims stay narrow

No person is treated as guilty or exonerated because a name appears, a lawsuit exists, or a document has been released.

06

Exit if declined

If a moderator removes, declines, or limits the post, log the outcome and do not argue for placement.

ALLOWED USE

Pick the route that answers the thread

One precise link
Source request

Where files are

Use when someone asks where the public Epstein-file release points live.

Big finds

What stands out

Use when a thread asks for high-level findings while still needing the caveat attached.

Use when a moderator approves one broad route to DOJ, House, court, FOIA, and dataset material.

BOUNDARIES

Protect credibility before traffic

Permission is not a quota
No mass posting

Use judgment before volume

Do not post the same Ledger route across many groups or threads just because permission exists somewhere else.

No authority costume

Do not imply official status

The Ledger is independent. Do not present it as DOJ, House, court, platform, legal, or press-office material.

Respect removals

Leave cleanly

If a post is removed or a moderator declines the link, record the outcome and choose a different owned-channel route.

LOGGING RULE

Published means visible and allowed.

A placement counts only when it is approved, visible, relevant to the thread, and logged with the live URL. A draft, copied text, deleted comment, declined ask, or off-site promise is not a published post.

Best next move

Use the outreach tracker to find candidates, ask the moderator first, then pair one approved route with the link brief or press note when a writer needs broader context.
